Core Tip	Stroke is a major cause of morbidity and mortality all over the world. At-risk patients is so-called vulnerable patients because they posses a higher likelihood of developing symptomatic stroke compared with those low-risk patients. Vulnerable patients usually have carotid artery vulnerable plaques and vulnerable plaques posses a higher likelihood of rupture to lead to acute stroke. The vasa vasorum of carotid artery plaque has been confirmed as same as vulnerable plaques and contrast-enhanced ultrasonography could detect the vasa vasorum of carotid artery plaque.
