Four Different Carotid Atherosclerotic Behaviors Based on Luminal Stenosis and Plaque Characteristics in Symptomatic Patients: An in Vivo Study

Diagnostics, 2019
Correct stratification of ischemic stroke risk allows for the proper treatment of carotid atherosclerotic disease. We seek to differentiate plaque types based on stenosis level and plaque morphology.

Wandering Carotid Artery in Carotid Artery Stenting

Cureus
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 82-year-old female with symptomatic right internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis.

Preliminary Study Using Wearable Near-Infrared Spectroscopy for Continuous Monitoring of Hemodynamics Through the Carotid Artery

Biosensors
Non-invasive, continuous monitoring of carotid artery hemodynamics may provide valuable insights on cerebral blood perfusion (CBP). Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a non-invasive modality that may be a good candidate for real-time carotid artery ...

Histological verification of atherosclerosis due to bends and bifurcations in carotid arteries predicted by hemodynamic model

Jornal Vascular Brasileiro
Background Tortuosity and bifurcations in carotid arteries alter the blood flow, causing atherosclerosis. Objectives The aim of the present study is to analyze the effect of variant vascular anatomy in the cervical region on development of ...

The Role of Intraindividual Carotid Artery Variation in the Development of Atherosclerotic Carotid Artery Disease: A Literature Review

International Journal of Medical Students, 2019
Carotid artery disease (CAD) is associated with numerous risk factors, including hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes mellitus, and smoking.

Bilateral non-bifurcating carotid arteries in a patient with recurrent cerebrovascular events

Neurological Research and Practice, 2021
Introduction Among congenital anomalies of the carotid artery circulation, the presence of a non-bifurcating carotid artery is extremely rare. Relevant cases with unilateral non-bifurcating carotid artery have scarcely been described in the literature ...

1.6 DETRIMENTAL EFFECTS ON CAROTID PERFUSION OF INTRA-AORTIC BALLOON PUMP SUPPORT

Artery Research, 2009
Introduction: Intra-aortic balloon pumping is widely used to augment diastolic coronary perfusion. However, far less is known about its effects on other large arteries. In this study we assessed the effects of intra-arterial balloon pump pressure support

Microbiome‐blood–brain barrier interactions in aging — mechanisms and therapeutic potential

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Aging reshapes the gut microbiome (↓SCFA‐producing commensals; ↑pro‐inflammatory outputs), shifting circulating metabolites (↓SCFAs; ↑LPS, ↑TMAO, ↑PAA) that act at the BBB to increase nonspecific transcytosis, alter transport, and promote astrocyte reactivity, heightening brain vulnerability.

Acute Kidney Injury After Mechanical Thrombectomy for Stroke in Patients With Pre‐Existing Renal Impairment

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common but often underrecognized complication in ischemic stroke patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy, particularly among those with pre‐existing renal impairment. This study evaluated the incidence, risk factors, and clinical impact of AKI in this high‐risk population.

Comprehensive Assessment of Arterial, Tissue, and Venous Collaterals for Evaluating the Infarct Growth Rate: The Multimodal Collateral Score

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Collaterals are crucial factors that influence the infarct growth rate (IGR). We aimed to determine whether a comprehensive multimodal collateral score (MCS), incorporating collateral assessment at the arterial, tissue, and venous levels, is associated with functional independence and provides incremental prognostic value over ...
