Wandering Carotid Artery in Carotid Artery Stenting
A wandering carotid artery is the rare phenomenon of the repeated migration of the carotid artery into the lateral and retropharyngeal spaces. We report a case of wandering carotid artery before and after carotid artery stenting (CAS). The patient was an

Correlation between morphological and biomechanical features and carotid atherosclerosis
The main cause of ischemic stroke is the atherosclerotic lesions of the carotid arteries. Unlike other arteries, carotid arteries have unique anatomical structure and hemodynamic characteristics, which are significantly related to the occurrence of ...

Effect of carotid artery stenting on the external carotid artery [PDF]
We studied the fate of the ipsilateral external carotid artery (ECA) after stenting of the internal carotid artery (ICA) compared with the contralateral ECA.One hundred twenty-one ipsilateral ECAs in 112 consecutive patients who underwent carotid artery Wallstent placement were prospectively studied with color-coded duplex sonographic scanning (CCDS ...

Carotid artery stenosis is relatively common and is a significant cause of ischemic stroke, but carotid revascularization can reduce the risk of ischemic stroke in patients with significant symptomatic stenosis. Carotid endarterectomy has been and remains the gold standard treatment to reduce the risk of carotid artery stenosis. Carotid artery stenting
