Anatomical Variations of the Ascending Pharyngeal Artery: Implications for Endoscopic Surgery in the Parapharyngeal Space [PDF]

Ear, Nose & Throat Journal
Objectives: The ascending pharyngeal artery (APA) travels with the parapharyngeal internal carotid artery (pICA) in the parapharyngeal space (PPS). This study aimed to investigate the anatomical variations of the APA, and to explore their implications for endoscopic surgery in the PPS.

Occlusion of the ascending pharyngeal artery during carotid artery surgery: importance and technique [PDF]

Turkish Neurosurgery, 2014
In surgeries involving clamping, opening and repairing the carotid artery such as carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and proximal anastomosis at radial artery (RA) grafting, back-bleeding, often due to insufficient occlusion of the ascending pharyngeal artery (APA), must be avoided.

Utilizing the Ascending Pharyngeal Artery for Onyx Embolization in Cranial Dural Arteriovenous Fistulas : A Retrospective Analysis. [PDF]

J Korean Neurosurg Soc
Objective This retrospective study evaluates our experience with transarterial embolization (TAE) of dural arteriovenous fistulas (dAVFs) using the ascending pharyngeal artery (APA), considering its selective application as a route for the treatment ...

Recurrence of an extracranial internal carotid artery aneurysm treated with STA-MCA bypass and trapping due to neovascularization from an ascending pharyngeal artery: illustrative case. [PDF]

J Neurosurg Case Lessons
BACKGROUND Extracranial internal carotid artery aneurysms (EICAs) are rare. Although a high mortality risk has been reported in nonoperated cases, the optimal treatment for EICAs remains unknown.

Superior Thyroid Artery Originating from the Ascending Pharyngeal Artery [PDF]

International Journal of Cadaveric Studies and Anatomical Variations
Background: The superior thyroid artery generally originates from the anterior surface of the external carotid artery. The superior thyroid artery originating from the ascending pharyngeal artery is an extremely rare anatomic variation. Nevertheless, some variations in the origin of the superior thyroid artery have been reported in the literature. Such

A Rare Case of Subarachnoid Hemorrhage caused by Ruptured Venous Varix Due to Dural Arteriovenous Fistula at the Foramen Magnum Fed Solely by the Ascending Pharyngeal Artery. [PDF]

J Cerebrovasc Endovasc Neurosurg, 2018
Dural arteriovenous fistula (D-AVF) at the foramen magnum is an extremely rare disease entity. It produces venous hypertension, and can lead to progressive cervical myelopathy thereafter.

Ascending pharyngeal artery collateral circulation simulating internal carotid artery hypoplasia [PDF]

Neuroradiology, 1979
Complete occlusion of the cervical segment of the internal carotid artery may result in a collateral circuit between an enlarged ascending pharyngeal artery and the intracranial segment of the internal carotid artery. This anastomosis may simulate a severely stenotic or hypoplastic internal carotid artery.

Aberrant Ascending Pharyngeal Artery Mimicking a Partially Occluded Internal Carotid Artery [PDF]

Journal of Neuroimaging, 2004
ABSTRACTDoppler sonography has become a primary imaging modality for the diagnosis of carotid arterial stenosis. Carotid stenting for a severely stenotic but not completely occluded carotid artery is becoming an alternative to carotid endarterectomy in selected groups of patients. The authors discuss a case of complete occlusion of the internal carotid

Direct Ascending Pharyngeal Artery to Jugular Vein Arteriovenous Fistula [PDF]

Interventional Neuroradiology, 2008
A 32-year-old female developed a bruit, determined to arise from a rare direct arteriovenous (AV) fistula from the ascending pharyngeal artery to the internal jugular vein. The fistula was treated by transarterial silicone balloon occlusion, with occlusion of fistulous flow, ablation of symptoms, and excellent long-term result.
