| Abstract |
The floating plaque in carotid artery is an uncommon condition that can be detected by a duplex ultrasonography scan and is a high-risk factor for embolic cerebrovascular disease. The histopathological features of floating plaque in carotid artery vary. To the best of our knowledge, there is still considerable controversy about the treatment of floating carotid plaque. In this case, the floating carotid plaque was located in the edge of atherosclerotic plaque in common carotid artery, pathological finding following carotid endarterectomy confirmed that the mobile substances were formed by the contents of the plaque protruding into the carotid lumen after the rupture of the fibrous cap, without mural thrombus. This pathological change was different from those of the mobile substances, which were commonly considered as mural thrombotic substances of ulcer plaque caused by the ruptures of fibrous cap of vulnerable plaque. According to pathological differences, we investigated pathogenesis of ischemic cerebrovascular disease caused by floating carotid plaque and possible treatments. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 13 December 2017.
All research outputs
#20,454,971
of 23,011,300 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Neurology
#8,929
of 11,905 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#374,516
of 439,142 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Neurology
#149
of 208 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,011,300 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 11,905 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.3. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 439,142 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 208 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
