Infrahyoid wandering carotid arteries
Radiology Case Reports, 2020 Knowledge of retropharyngeal carotid arteries in patients is important in order to avoid potential catastrophic injuries. Previous studies demonstrated that carotid arteries can change in position at or near the level of the hyoid bone on serial scans ...

Correlation between morphological and biomechanical features and carotid atherosclerosis
Наука и инновации в медицине, 2022 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 ...

Determination of wave speed and distensibility of flexible tubes using diameter and velocity [PDF]
, 2009 It is well accepted that wave speed is one of the key factors describing wave propagation in arteries. Local wave speed is directly related to the mechanical properties of the arterial wall and is widely used to determine the arterial distensibility ...
