    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Intra-arterial endoscopy visualized common carotid artery atherosclerosis in 100 autopsy cases. This revealed diverse lesions, offering insights into atherosclerosis development and complications.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular pathology
    • Medical imaging
    • Cardiovascular research

    Background:

    • Atherosclerosis is a major cause of cardiovascular disease.
    • Understanding the in-situ morphology of carotid artery atherosclerosis is crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To visualize and characterize atherosclerotic lesions in the common carotid artery using intra-arterial endoscopy.
    • To correlate endoscopic findings with potential clinical sequelae.

    Main Methods:

    • Intra-arterial endoscopy was performed on 100 random autopsy cases.
    • Still photographs and movies were captured to document findings.

    Main Results:

    • Endoscopy revealed various atherosclerotic lesions including fatty dots, streaks, plaques, thrombi, and ulcerations.

  • Diverse lesion morphologies were observed in the common carotid artery and its bifurcation.

    • Conclusions:

    • Endoscopic findings provide a direct view of atherosclerosis progression.
    • These insights may explain complications in carotid angiography and surgery, and transient ischemic attacks or strokes.
