Carotid stenosis is a progressive narrowing of the carotid arteries in a process called atherosclerosis. Normal healthy arteries are flexible and have smooth inner walls. As we age, hypertension and small injuries to the blood vessel wall can allow plaque to build up. Plaque is a sticky substance...
After his blood pressure had been controlled at 130140/6080 mmHg, he suffered sudden left hemiparesis at 01:00 on 4 November 2000, showing complete obstruction of the right internal carotid artery. In a patient with carotid artery stenosis, nocturnal hypotension can cause an ischemic stroke. ...
The superimposition of bilateral vertebral artery and contralateral carotid artery occlusion lowered the level of critical stenosis to 72% luminal constriction. When both exter nal carotid arteries were ligated and common carotid artery flow represented internal carotid flow, critical stenosis was determined...
Atherosclerosis is a systemic disease affecting the coronary, carotid, and lower limb arteries. Cerebrovascular accidents and lower limb ischemia are devastating postoperative complications. We aimed to evaluate the role of non-selective routine arterial duplex scanning in patients undergoing coronary artery...
We suggest to consider duplex sonography as a part of evaluation of patients who suffer from TIA or minor stroke for screening of severe internal carotid stenosis. Control and treatment of risk factors are useful preventive measures that can reduce the incidence of carotid artery stenosis and ...
Association of increased carotid intima-media thickness with the extent of coronary artery disease To investigate (a) the relation between intima-media thickness (IMT) in carotid arteries and the extent of coronary artery disease (CAD); and (b) whether I... Kablak-Ziembicka,A - 《Heart》 ...
Bilateral carotid arteries, including the common carotid arteries (CCA), internal carotid arteries (ICA) and vertebral arteries (VA), were all examined with the participants in a supine position, head turning to the contralateral side. Both sides of carotid arteries were extensively evaluated. The ...
This is a prospective descriptive research which was carried out in Imam Khomeini Hospital related to Tehran University during two years (1375-1377) in order to study the incidence of internal carotid stenosis in patients who suffered from TIA ot minor stroke. It was evaluated by duplex sonography...
Both pathophysiology and treatments of carotid atherosclerotic plaque stenosis represent two interesting fields of strong scientific investigation. Among different drugs, safety and efficacy of statin treatment have been widely investigated and proved.This narrative review is based on the material searched for...
Stenosis in the cardiovascular system can occur in many regions of the body, however it most commonly effects the heart valves (aortic, pulmonary, mitral, and tricuspid), coronary arteries, renal arteries, carotid artery, and in peripheral arteries (intermittent claudication). A number of 1D ...
