European Stroke Organisation guideline on endarterectomy and stenting for carotid artery stenosis

open access: yesEuropean Stroke Journal, 2021
Atherosclerotic stenosis of the internal carotid artery is an important cause of stroke. The aim of this guideline is to analyse the evidence pertaining to medical, surgical and endovascular treatment of patients with carotid stenosis.

Carotid–Carotid Bypass for a Carotid Artery Aneurysm

open access: yesWorld Neurosurgery, 2020
Surgical treatment for symptomatic extracranial carotid artery aneurysms should be encouraged because of their high recurrence rates.A 55-year-old man presented with progressive right-sided hemiparesis and dysarthria. Computed tomography angiography revealed the cause of his repeated cerebral infarction was due to the distal emboli from an intra ...

Quantifying carotid stiffness in a pre-hypertensive population with ultrafast ultrasound imaging [PDF]

open access: yesUltrasonography, 2023
Purpose The aim of this study was to assess carotid stiffening in a pre-hypertensive (PHT) population using ultrafast pulse wave velocity (ufPWV). Methods This study retrospectively enrolled 626 individuals who underwent clinical interviews, serum tests,

Global and regional prevalence, burden, and risk factors for carotid atherosclerosis: a systematic review, meta-analysis, and modelling study.

open access: yesLancet Global Health, 2020
BACKGROUND Estimation of the epidemiological burden of carotid atherosclerosis can serve as a basis for prevention and management of cardiovascular disease. We aimed to provide the first estimation on the prevalence, number of cases, and risk factors for

Effect of Micropolar Fluid Properties on the Blood Flow in a Human Carotid Model

open access: yesFluids, 2020
Blood is a non-homogeneous fluid that flows inside the human artery system and provides the cells with nutrients. In this study the auto rotation effect of blood’s microstructure on its flow inside a human carotid model is studied by using a micropolar ...

A Rare Case of Bilateral Carotid Glomus Jugulare with Partial Responses to Radiotherapy [PDF]

open access: yesMiddle East Journal of Cancer, 2021
Glomus jugulare is known as a benign tumor that could involve in different parts of the body. The most prevalent site of involvement is head and neck area. This disease is rare and few of the cases are bilateral.

Second asymptomatic carotid surgery trial (ACST-2): a randomised comparison of carotid artery stenting versus carotid endarterectomy.

open access: yesThe Lancet, 2021
BACKGROUND Among asymptomatic patients with severe carotid artery stenosis but no recent stroke or transient cerebral ischaemia, either carotid artery stenting (CAS) or carotid endarterectomy (CEA) can restore patency and reduce long-term stroke risks ...

Sex- and Age-Related Physiological Profiles for Brachial, Vertebral, Carotid, and Femoral Arteries Blood Flow Velocity Parameters During Growth and Aging (4–76 Years): Comparison With Clinical Cut-Off Levels

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2021
Ultrasound-derived blood flow velocity (BFV) levels [e.g., peak systolic velocity (PSV)], intrabeat indexes (e.g., resistive), and intersegment ratios [e.g., internal/common carotid artery (ICA/CCA) PSV ratio] are assessed to describe cardiovascular ...

Management of atherosclerotic extracranial carotid artery stenosis.

open access: yesLancet Neurology, 2022
Atherosclerosis leading to stenosis of the internal carotid artery is the underlying cause of 8-15% of ischaemic strokes (symptomatic carotid stenosis). 1-2% of the adult population have asymptomatic carotid stenosis.
