Cerebrovascular Diseases, 08/28/09
Yamada K et al. – Lipid–lowering therapy by atorvastatin decreased relative lipid volume without significant regression of plaque volume during short–term follow–up in patients with moderate carotid artery stenosis. Quantitative assessment of carotid plaques by IBS analysis was clinically useful for monitoring atherosclerotic lesions.
