Carotid Artery Stenosis Imaging(brain attack) represents one of the most serious causes of mortality and morbidity in the United States and throughout the world. Each year, 150,000 patients die as a direct result of a cerebrovascular accident (CVA), while 600,000 patients experience the ...
Carotid endarterectomyis an open surgery to remove the plaque. A skin incision is made in the neck and the carotid artery is located. Temporary clamps are placed across the artery above and below the area of stenosis to stop blood flow. During this time, the carotid artery on the other sid...

Aortic arch and carotid arteriography - To evaluate the percentage of stenosis See Workup for more detail. Management Treatment of atherosclerosis of the carotid artery is dependent on the severity and degree of the disease. Pharmacotherapy Medications used to manage atherosclerotic disease of the car...
The Society of Radiologists in Ultrasound convened a multidisciplinary panel of experts in the field of vascular ultrasonography (US) to come to a consensus regarding Doppler US for assistance in the diagnosis of carotid artery stenosis. The panel's consensus statement is believed to represent a re...
ultrasound can document degree of stenosis for extrathoracic lesions and determine flow directionality of the internal andcommon carotid artery, but lesions of the common carotid origin are often better imaged withcomputed tomographic angiography,magnetic resonance angiography, or conventional contrast ...
颈动脉窄,英文:Carotid artery stenosis 1颈动脉狭窄概述编辑本段 颈动脉狭窄概述 颈动脉狭窄的常见原因是动脉粥样硬化,即颈动脉壁形成斑块,当这些斑块增大或破裂时,就会造成颈动脉狭窄或栓塞,使远端灌注压下降,导致低灌注性脑梗死。颈动脉狭窄的好发部位为颈内动脉的起始部。研究显示,颈动脉狭窄同侧脑梗塞的发病率...
CE MRA with a scan time of 10 or 28s was performed in 24 consecutive patients who were scheduled for preoperative DSA because of Duplex-verified severe carotid artery stenosis. Two neuroradiologists measured the degree of stenosis with three different methods, and the image quality was evaluated....
The purpose of the study was to update the recent information pertaining to carotid artery stenosis risk stratification and treatment.Current decision-making related to carotid artery stenosis is based on clinical trials that are outdated. Medical therapy has improved considerably in the past two ...
Stenting is being used increasingly for the treatment of carotid artery stenosis, but it is still unknown whether it is as safe and successful as carotid endarterectomy—the standard treatment for symptomatic patients with more than 50% carotid stenosis.
