Carotid Plaque Hemorrhage on Magnetic Resonance Imaging Strongly Predicts Recurrent Ischemia and Stroke
Ann Neurol 73:774-784, Hosseini, A.,et al, 2013
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
MRIPH independently and strongly predicts recurrent ipsilateral ischemic events, and stroke alone, in symptomatic �50% carotid artery stenosis. The very low stroke risk in patients without MRIPH puts into question current risk-benefit assessment for CEA in this subgroup.
