Carotid intraplaque neovascularization increases the risk of white matter hyperintensity progression: a prospective cohort study
Carotid intraplaque neovascularization is an independent predictor of deep WMH progression. Assessing plaque vulnerability via IPN grading may help identify patients at high risk for progressive white matter injury and serve as a potential target for therapeutic intervention.
