The role of chronic infections in pathophysiology of the atherosclerotic process of the carotid arteries in the patients with cerebrovascular diseases

Abstract

There are limited data on causes of thickening of the complex intima‑media carotid arteries during infection process. A more detailed study of the etiological significance of microbe factors with composition of atherosclerotic plaques is required. This article investigates the plaques with damages, which have signs of inflammation, and can rupture, and cause thrombosis. It also explores the possibility of early surgical treatment of the patients with acute damages of brain blood circulation on the bases of stenosis, which allows to remove the causes of the development of pathological process and to prevent the gross neurological deficit. This shortens the period of treatment and rehabilitation, and significantly reduces the expenses.
