Stenosis of the external carotid artery as detected by duplex scan occurred in 5.5% of patients and was totally asymptomatic. Conclusion: Our results of carotid endarterectomy are comparable to ...

With a carotid stent, dilation balloon, and integrated embolic protection (IEP) filter for added safety, the system also allows for three steps in one, minimizing manipulation of balloons and stents ...

Carotid artery stenosis (CAS) is a narrowing of the lumen (the inside space) of the carotid artery (usually due to cholesterol deposits called plaque). CAS is responsible for 8% of all strokes due to ...

Carotid artery ultrasound imaging plays a pivotal role in the non‐invasive evaluation of cardiovascular health by enabling the detailed visualisation of arterial walls and plaque formations ...

Conclusions Our data demonstrated that a significant portion of stented carotid arteries will display elevated PSVs that are greater than the accepted normal value for a native carotid artery ...

Ultrasound Image of Carotid Artery is taken by placing a probe against our neck region and sound waves get reflected and then the computer constructs an image based on the sound waves from the ...

The goal of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is to improve blood flow to your heart. The heart is a muscle about the size of your fist. Your heart pumps blood and oxygen to all of the organs and ...

Thickening of intima-media complex in the common carotid artery is a biomarker of atherosclerosis. To automatically measure this thickness, we propose a region-based segmentation method, involving a ...

Objectives: Early diagnosis and management of intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulae (DAVF) may prevent the occurrence of stroke. This study aimed to identify the best carotid duplex sonography ...

Rotterdam Study reveals calcified plaques double bleeding risk, challenging assumptions about plaque stability in subclinical atherosclerosis ...

Abstract —Carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) increases with advancing age in humans. The underlying mechanism of this increase is unknown, but data from animal studies suggest that a chronic ...

OBJECTIVES: An endovascular carotid balloon occlusion test with continuous intracranial monitoring by transcranial Doppler sonography was performed in 55 patients for prediction of tolerance of a ...
