ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the examination methods about stability of carotid atherosclerotic plaque and evaluate the curative effect of medicine on carotid atherosclerosis.Methods 150 patients with carotid atherosclerotic plaque in acute stage ischemic stroke were divided into treatment group and control group at random.Stable or instable plaques were assessed and carotid artery intima-media thickness(IMT) were measured according to the characteristics of carotid atherosclerotic plaque on supersound imagin.The treatment in treatment group were different from that in control group.The therapeutic efficacy was observed respectively.Results After the treatment 1 month and 3 months,in treatment group carotid artery IMT decreaced more than that at accidence of treatment group and that of control group,the carotid atherosclerotic plaques stabilizese increasingly.Conclusion The stability of carotid atherosclerotic plaque may be evaluated through the ultrasound imagin.Statin and aspirin can lighten carotid atherosclerosis and stabilize the plaque.
