Evaluating the association between vascular remodeling and plaque calcification patterns of the carotid artery and its effects on ischemic symptoms using CT angiography

Arterial remodeling exists in the ICA. A significant association between arterial positive remodeling and plaque calcification thickness was established. RR helps predict ischemic symptoms. The results of our study suggest that arterial remodeling serves as a novel measure to help ascertain the risk stratification of ischemic events in carotid atherosclerotic disease.
