Ultrasonography of a Helical Left Common Carotid Artery [PDF]
Case Presentation: An 83-year-old woman was admitted to the intensive care unit for septic shock at which point an internal jugular central venous line was placed. The patient’s common carotid artery was visualized in an atypical location, lateral to the

Absence of right common carotid artery in a patient with common origin of the innominate artery and left common carotid artery [PDF]
A 50-year-old woman was referred to the noninvasive vascular laboratory for carotid artery evaluation because of a bruit in the neck. Color Doppler ultrasound examination demonstrated absence of the right common carotid artery and parallel internal and external carotid arteries originating at the brachiocephalic trunk.

Trifurcation of the Left Common Carotid Artery [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Trifurcation of the common carotid artery is an unusual variation. CASE REPORT: We report a case of left common carotid artery trifurcation in a 74-year-old man. The left common carotid artery divided into the internal carotid, external carotid and facial arteries.

Differences in ultrasound-derived arterial wall stiffness parameters and noninvasive blood pressure between Friesian horses and Warmblood horses [PDF]
Background: Aortic rupture is more common in Friesians compared to Warmbloods, which might be related to differences in arterial wall composition and, as such, arterial wall stiffness (AWS).

Floating thrombus in the common carotid artery [PDF]
We read with interest the report by Pagliariccio et al. [1] regarding the floating thrombus in the common carotid artery (CCA). This report raises some important issues. CCA occlusion is a rare finding seen in no more than 2% of patients evaluated for cerebrovascular diseases [2]. The clinical presentation may range from completely asymptomatic to a

Brachial artery pulse pressure and common carotid artery diameter: mutually independent associations with mortality in subjects with a recent history of impaired glucose tolerance [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Decreased large artery function, as reflected by increased brachial artery pulse pressure and increased carotid artery diameter and stiffness, may contribute to the increased mortality risk that is observed in subjects with impaired glucose ...
