Summary

Introduction

Spontaneous plaque rupture, or damage to the vessel wall during therapeutic interventions will lead to the formation of a thrombus at the site of vascular damage. Emboli can be released either as a result of shearing of the thrombus from the vessel wall, or as smaller emboli propagated at the surface of the growing thrombus. In either case the released emboli can lead to downstream vascular occlusion and subsequent ischemia.

Cerebrovascular events related to carotid artery disease are caused in the majority of cases by atherothrombotic emboli dislodging from the carotid plaque (Foulkes et al., 1988; Sitzer et al., 1995; Lammie et al., 1999; Jander et al., 2001). Embolization of platelet thrombus into the circulation is also a well recognized complication of surgical intervention (carotid endarterectomy) or carotid stenting (Riles et al., 1994; Jordan et al., 1999) and is the main cause of postoperative stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA) (Spencer, 1997). It can generally be considered that embolization that occurs during the dissection phase of carotid endarterectomy is associated with carotid plaque instability, whereas embolic events observed after endarterectomy, following restoration of flow and in the early postoperative period, are related to excessive thrombus formation at the endarterectomy and clamping sites.
