BACKGROUND: The utility of screening for the degree of common carotid artery (CCA) stenosis as a predictor of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in a general population remains unclear.METHODS AND RESULTS: We studied 4775 Japanese men and women whose CCA was measured using bilateral carotid ...

Caption: Figure 4: (a)-(d) are CTA showing the fractures at spinous processes of C2-C4 as well as right common carotid artery dissection. Traumatic Penetrating Neck Injury with Right Common Carotid Artery Dissection and Stenosis Effectively Managed with Stenting: A Case Report and Review of th...
This can lead to carotid artery stenosis, narrowing of the common carotid artery, which increases the risk of a transient ischaemic attack (TIA) or a stroke. Treatment can involve pharmacological management, such as aspirin or warfarin, or surgical management. A carotid endarterectomy is the most...
continued infusion of heparinized saline, after which we introduced a guide wire with a Cordis stent (10 * 60mm) to completely cover the right common carotid artery dissection site with stenosis and released the stent gradually until it completely filled the stenosis area (Figures 5(a)-5(d))...
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 ...
Common carotid stenosisIntraoperative balloon angioplastyCarotid endarterectomyObjectives: This study was performed to demonstrate the value and durability of intraoperative retrograde angioplasty for stenotic lesions of the aortic arch branches at the time of carotid endarterectomy for the treatment of tandem ...
Chronic bilateral common carotid artery occlusion: A model for ocular ischemic syndrome in the rat Ocular ischemic syndrome is a devastating eye disease caused by severe carotid artery stenosis. The reduction of blood flow produced by bilateral common ca... D Lavinsky,NS Arterni,M Achaval,... ...
Real-time impairment of ocular blood flow (OBF) under common carotid artery stenosis (CCAS) has not been ascertained. We aimed to longitudinally assess the impact of CCAS on OBF using a rabbit model. About 75% stenosis was created by tying the common carotid artery with a plastic mandrel ...
An original technique for the treatment of symptomatic common carotid artery occlusion and concomitant ipsilateral internal carotid artery stenosis. Successful hybrid treatment of the total symptomatic acute occlusion of a common carotid artery (CCA) concomitant to ipsilateral internal carotid artery (I......
