In order to prove that platelet scintigraphy (PSC) is able to detect carotid thrombi formations, we performed PSC in 15 patients directly before or immediately after a percutaneous carotid angiography. PSC was successful in demonstrating iatrogenic fresh carotid thrombi in 13 out of 15 cases. Out of 53 patients with cerebrovascular disease and carotid stenosis a pathologic platelet accumulation was seen in 39 carotid arteries, 31 on the symptomatic side; more often in slight- and middle-sized stenoses than in high degree stenoses. We assume that in these cases PSC detected carotid thrombi which caused arterio-arterial emboli.

D007205 Indium Radioisotopes Unstable isotopes of indium that decay or disintegrate emitting radiation. In atoms with atomic weights 106-112, 113m, 114, and 116-124 are radioactive indium isotopes. Radioisotopes, Indium

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D011877 Radionuclide Imaging The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.
