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 ...

Bilateral Multiple Variations in Carotid Arteries-A Case Report [PDF]
The common carotid arteries are the largest bilateral arteries of the head and neck. The common carotid arteries may bifurcate higher or lower than the usual levels. A higher bifurcation is more common.

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 ...

Bindarit inhibits human coronary artery smooth muscle cell proliferation, migration and phenotypic switching [PDF]
Bindarit, a selective inhibitor of monocyte chemotactic proteins (MCPs) synthesis, reduces neointimal formation in animal models of vascular injury and recently has been shown to inhibit in-stent late loss in a placebo-controlled phase II clinical trial.

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

Multiple blood flow measurements before and after carotid artery stenting via phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging: An observational study. [PDF]
After carotid artery stenting, the procurement of information about blood flow redistribution among brain-feeding arteries and its time trend is essential to understanding a patient's physiological background and to determine their care regimen. Cerebral
