When the carotid arteries are obstructed, you are at an increased risk for a stroke, the third leading cause of death in the U.S. Image Source: MedicineNet, Inc.Text: WebMD Medical Reference Picture of Pericardial Sac Pericardial sac: A conical sac of fibrous tissue which surrounds the ...
Thirty-one patients with ectasia of intracranial arteries were studied. The carotid system was more frequently involved than the vertebrobasilar. The condition is relatively rare and usually occurs with other vascular disease. Ectasia presents with a variety of neurological symptoms, amongst which ...
We report the case of a 13-year-old girl with a diffusely hypoplastic right aortic arch, anomalous origin of the left subclavian artery, and a small, insignificant ventricular septal defect. The patient's pulse was forceful at the carotid arteries, but it was markedly weaker at all extremitie...
Anyway, the moral of the story is that, male or female, you have nerve fibers that exit your skull through the jugular foramen, pass down your neck behind your carotid arteries, follow your esophagus and stomach to the networks of nerves that run your guts, and run as impossibly slender f...
aThe vertebral arteries should not be routinely cannulated during carotid angiography, and selective vertebral artery angiography should be reserved for those cases where knowledge of posterior circulation anatomy will help with decision making, or where there is a true concern for vertebrobasilar insuffic...
Optimisation and evaluation of an electromagnetic tracking device for high-accuracy three-dimensional ultrasound imaging of the carotid arteries Electromagnetic tracking devices provide a flexible, low cost solution for three-dimensional ultrasound (3-D US) imaging. They are, however, susceptible to... ...
”, published in Qeios in January, I had a couple of epiphanies. The first was that I had collated enough information to map the sites at which arteries and veins enter and exit the vertebrae in most tetrapods. The second was that, having done that, I’d also made a map of (almost...
power inject into the common carotid arteries. In situations where power injection is being used ,the physician often leaves the patient's bedside after positioning the diagnostic catheter in the CCA. Patient movement during this time can result in inadvertent angulation of the diagnostic ca[...
In order to clarify the mechanism of development of ischemic brain edema, the blood-brain barrier in Wistar rats was observed by the electron microscopic histochemical technique. In experimental models, the bilateral carotid arteries wer... S Bacon,A Zagon,AD Smith - 《Experimental Brain Research》...
