- The study investigates intracranial plaque characteristics and extracranial carotid Plaque-RADS in relation to stroke recurrence using high-resolution vessel wall imaging (HR-VWI).
- Key findings show that intracranial plaque enhancement ratio, intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH), and extracranial carotid Plaque-RADS are significantly associated with an increased risk of stroke recurrence.
- Combining these three factors in a Cox model achieved a maximum AUC of 0.79, indicating good predictive performance for assessing ischemic stroke recurrence risk.
