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.

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 ...

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 ...

Expert consensus document on the measurement of aortic stiffness in daily practice using carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity.

Journal of Hypertension, 2012
Stiffness of elastic arteries like the aorta predicts cardiovascular risk. By directly reflecting arterial stiffness, having the best predictive value for cardiovascular outcome and the ease of its measurement, carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity is now ...

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.

Reperfusion‐Dependent Outcomes After Endovascular Thrombectomy Stratified by NIHSS‐ASPECTS Clinical‐Core Mismatch

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This analysis evaluates the effect of successful reperfusion on functional outcomes after MT, stratified by admission National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) as surrogates for clinical‐core mismatch, using multicenter registry data.

Bilateral ICA agenesis with giant basilar tip aneurysm: a case report and literature review [PDF]

Romanian Journal of Neurology
Background. Congenital absence (agenesis) of internal carotid arteries (ICAs) is a rare developmental anomaly with incidence below 0.01%. Bilateral ICA agenesis is extremely uncommon and results in posterior circulation-dependent cerebral perfusion ...
