Study on the relationship between extracranial carotid arterial stenosis and its severity and OCSP typing of acute cerebral infarction / 中国综合临床

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the relationship between extracranial carotid arerial stenosis and OCSP typing of acute cerebral infarction. Methods 188 patients with acute cerebral infarction were classified into TACI, PACI, POCI and LACI subtype by OCSP criteria. The lumen diameter, intima-media thickness, plaque, severity of ar-terystenosis of extraeranial carotid arteries in patients with acute cerebral infarction was studied by using HDI-5000 color Doppler ultrasound. Resnlts The prevalence of extracranial carotid arterial stenosis was higher in patients with TACI, POCI subtype than in patients with LACI subtype (X2 = 4.87, P < 0.05 ; X2 = 4.58, P < 0.05). The severity of extracranial carotid arterial stenosis were more prominent in patients with TACI,POCI subtype than in patients with LACI subtype(X2 =7.59,P <0.01 ;X2 =6. 96,P <0.01). Conclusion Extraeranial carotid arterial stenosis and its severity are related to TACI, POCI subtype of OCSP criteria in patients with acute cerebral infarction.
