Background Challenging anatomy for carotid artery access can result in a delay to achieve successful recanalization in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Our objective was to study emergent direct ...

Physical examination revealed localised tenderness on the right carotid artery. No vascular murmur was detected. White cell count, C reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate were all within ...

Given the geometry of a healthy carotid artery, complex flow patterns are expected to be present. This study aims to characterize (complex) blood flow patterns and estimate flow-derived parameters in ...

CaW is usually formed at the carotid bifurcation. This prior knowledge may assist in its automatic segmentation and detection. To avoid the influence of other possible plaques on the carotid artery, ...

The maximum IMT was measured at the near and far walls of the common carotid artery, the bifurcation, and the internal carotid arteries and was expressed as a mean aggregate value. The IMT was ...

common carotid artery reference diameter of at least 6 mm, carotid bifurcation is a minimum of 5 cm above the clavicle as measured by duplex Doppler ultrasound or computerized axial tomography ...

while performing angioplasty and stenting procedures involving lesions of the internal carotid artery and/or the bifurcation; the reference diameter of the external carotid artery should be between ...

The carotid body is a small organ located at the bifurcation of the carotid arteries and plays a crucial role in sensing changes in blood oxygen levels. This organ is essential for regulating ...

Background: Around 9–15% of ischemic strokes are related to internal carotid artery (ICA)-stenosis ≥50%. However, the extent to which ICA-stenosis <50% causes ischemic cerebrovascular events is ...

Actor Saif Ali Khan shared details of a near-fatal attack at his residence, revealing he has 30 scars on his neck and narrowly avoided damage to critical blood vessels. The knife penetrated close ...

Introduction: Carotid webs (CW) are rare shelf-like filling defects arising from the posterior wall of the internal carotid artery (ICA) bulb and are reportedly associated with ... linear filling ...
