Table 3 Comparison of plaque morphology and components between eccentric and concentric lesions

From: The association of lesion eccentricity with plaque morphology and components in the superficial femoral artery: a high-spatial-resolution, multi-contrast weighted CMR study

  Eccentricity  
  Eccentric Concentric P Value
  (mean ± SD) (mean ± SD)  
Lumen area, mm 2 15.3 ± 8.35 13.2 ± 8.8 0.078
Wall area, mm 2 38.8 ± 14.9 26.4 ± 10.5 0.019
Mean wall thickness, mm 1.98 ± 0.61 1.53 ± 0.31 <0.001
Max wall thickness, mm 3.39 ± 1.45 1.94 ± 0.45 <0.001

  1. * Only locations that exhibited calcification were included; N = 73 for eccentric, N = 11 for concentric.
  2. % Calcification = (calcification area/Wall area) × 100
