Blocked carotid arteries is a silent disease and it is sometimes found during ultrasound of the neck and head. Surgery of blocked carotid arteries is called endarterectomy and its main goal is to prevent a stroke from occuring in the future....
Arteries of the Head and Neck in Giant Cell Arteritis: A Pathological Study to Show the Pattern of Arterial Involvement In patients dying during the active phase of giant cell arteritis there was a very high incidence of severe involvement of the superficial temporal, vertebral, ophthalmic, and ...
Your largest artery is theaorta. This is the first artery your blood travels through after getting new oxygen from your lungs. The aorta starts at your heart and reaches up toward your neck. Smaller arteries branch off of the aorta and go up to your head. The aorta then curves back ...

Head and neck arteries were manually removed at their origin. All 90 datasets were segmented by a primary observer (RJ—10 years’ experience in CMR post-processing). We refer to the primary observer’s segmentations as the ground truth (GT). In addition, a secondary observer (VM—19 ...
small, and the secondary arterial lumens were almost invisible to the unaided eye. Muscle fibers in both ventricles were hypertrophied and many fibers of the free wall of the left ventricle had been replaced by collagen, which in many areas surrounded isolated, hypertrophied muscle cells. The ...
