| Popis: | During analysis of carotid plaque anatomy for a multicenter carotid imaging trial, we examined plaque specimens from 5 patients with double internal carotid artery lumina. Four of the 5 patients had symptoms referable to the lesion. The second lumen was noted when the plaque specimens were examined ex vivo with high-resolution (200 μm3) magnetic resonance imaging. Plaque structure was correctly identified in only 1 patient preoperatively. However, during retrospective review of the preoperative imaging studies, the second internal carotid artery lumen was identified in 3 patients. |
