Abstract 42: Validation of a New Plaque-RADS Classification System to a Cohort of Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source Patients

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A42-A42, February 1, 2024. Introduction:A new Plaque-RADS classification (I-IV) is proposed to categorize the degree of carotid plaque instability and risk of embolic ischemic stroke. Carotid total plaque thickness and ulceration were scored by a neuroradiologist blinded to stroke side.
