Patient (atherosclerotic risk factors, comorbidities, medications), vessel (elongation), lesion (stenosis grade, length, calcification, location), and stent characteristics (material, diameter, length, fracture) were examined. Duplex ultrasonography was used to monitor stent patency. The Mann–Whitney U...
CTAof leftcommon carotid artery(CCA) stent. Axial images of the neck after contrast administration demonstrates a leftCCAstent with significant difficulty for the assessment of the CCA residual lumen diameter.

The Feasibility and Limitation of Fusion Imaging of 3D-CT Angiography and 2D-CT Sagittal Imaging for Carotid Endarterectomy with High-position Internal Car... Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is a standard treatment for internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis. The level of carotid bifurcation of Japanese...
Atherosclerosis within the carotid bifurcation and internal carotid artery, as measured by carotid stenosis scores, was significantly greater in both coronary artery patient groups compared with vascular disease-free controls but was not associated with ISR. Conclusions.—Intimal thickening within the ...

and the resulting memory impairment may play a crucial role in VaD. Here we have investigated the hippocampal gene expression profile of young and old mice subjected to cerebral hypoperfusion by bilateral common carotid artery stenosis (BCAS). Our data in sham-operated young and aged mice reveal ...
Although many articles have been published on the diagnosis and imaging of carotid stenosis, very few have been dedicated to a common-sense evaluation of patients with carotid vascular disease. Here, the author examines the three most useful imaging modalities for carotid vascular disease; carotid du...
Endarterectomy of the left carotid bifurcation was performed. Follow-up color duplex sonography 3 months later revealed a small increase of stenosis in the left CCA and mild stenosis in the left ICA. The right CCA remained occluded, but reversed flow with a high-resistance flow pattern was seen...
However, 3D-ASL experiences difficulties to accurately assess hemodynamic impairments because of labeling failures due to susceptibility artifacts at the extracranial portion of the ICA or the delayed arrival of labeled blood in patients with chronic ischemia due to atherosclerotic ICA stenosis. IVIM ...
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the primary cause of mortality in the world. CVD causes ∼18 million deaths each year, of which 85% are due to stroke and myocardial infarction (MI)1. Renal artery stenosis is a cause of hypertension, a preventable risk factor for stroke and MI. Renovascula...
