Trifurcation of the right common carotid artery [PDF]
Variations in the position of the bifurcation of the common carotid artery and the origin or branching pattern of the external carotid artery are well known and documented. Here, we report the trifurcation of the right common carotid artery in a male cadaver aged about 55 years.

Combined endovascular and open operative approach for mycotic carotid aneurysm [PDF]
Mycotic aneurysms of the extracranial carotid artery are rare and warrant surgical intervention. Management involves open and endovascular approaches. We report the case of a 67-year-old woman with an Escherichia coli soft-tissue infection of the right ...

Spontaneous common carotid artery dissection [PDF]
A case of a symptomatic spontaneous common carotid artery dissection that occurred several months after an ipsilateral carotid endarterectomy is presented. The case was successfully managed with resection of the dissected common carotid artery and placement of an interposition saphenous vein graft. Examination of the specimen demonstrated cystic medial

Length of carotid stenosis predicts peri-procedural stroke or death and restenosis in patients randomized to endovascular treatment or endarterectomy. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The anatomy of carotid stenosis may influence the outcome of endovascular treatment or carotid endarterectomy. Whether anatomy favors one treatment over the other in terms of safety or efficacy has not been investigated in randomized trials.

Dissection of the Common Carotid Artery [PDF]
Dissection of the aorta is a common catastrophic event affecting the aorta. However, aortic dissections do not normally extend into the common carotid arteries. This case study discusses such an occurrence and the role of sonography in its detection and diagnosis.
