Table 3 Carotid plaque enhancement in patients with ischemic stroke and in controls n (%)

Grade of plaque	Ischemic stroke (n = 81)	Controls (n = 95)	Rate of stroke (%)	P value
I	7 (9)	26 (27)	21
II	14 (17)	37 (39)	28
III	26 (32)	17 (18)	61	0.001^a
IV	34 (42)	15 (16)	69	< 0.001^b

^aP = 0.001 vs grade I and II;

^bP < 0.001 vs grade I and II. Grade I: Non-enhancement; Grade II: Arterial wall vasa vasorum enhancement; Grade III: Arterial wall vasa vasorum and plaque shoulder enhancement; Grade IV: Extensive and internal plaque enhancement.
