Contrast-enhanced carotid ultrasound improves vulnerable plaque detection in acute central retinal artery occlusion: a propensity score–matched study
CEUS significantly improves the detection of vulnerable carotid plaques in patients with acute CRAO and, when combined with conventional ultrasound, markedly enhances diagnostic performance. Incorporating CEUS into routine vascular assessment may facilitate better risk stratification and inform personalized secondary prevention strategies for CRAO patients.
