Media Thickness Measurement of the Common Carotid Artery [PDF]

2007 29th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2007
The intima-media thickness (IMT) of the common carotid artery (CCA) is widely used as an early indicator of the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). It was proposed but not thoroughly investigated that the media thickness (MT), its composition and texture may be indicative for identifying the risk of stroke and differentiating between patients ...

Dissection of the Common and External Carotid Artery [PDF]

Cerebrovascular Diseases, 2006
extension of the neck. Another report [2] describes 54 patients with blunt and sharp carotid artery injuries but without mentioning dissections. In 20% of the patients, the ECA was affected, but the trauma included stab wounds and gunshot wounds. Campbell et al. [3] describe a case of ECA pseudoaneurysm from hyoid bone fracture. In 1994, Minion et al. [

The Effect of Pravastatin on Intima Media Thickness of the Carotid Artery in Patients with Normal Cholesterol [PDF]

, 2005
ObjectiveCarotid intima media thickness (IMT) is a good indicator of the severity of atherosclerotic disease. Statins have been found to reduce carotid IMT in patients with hypercholesterolaemia. The aim of this study was to investigate if pravastatin is

Absence of both common carotid arteries [PDF]

American Journal of Roentgenology, 1978
Abnormalities in the development of the embryologic aortic arches with resultant anomalies of the aortic arch and its branches are not uncommon. Absence of a common carotid artery in which there are separate origins of the internal and external carotid arteries is rare.

Association between arterial stiffness and atherosclerosis: the Rotterdam Study [PDF]

, 2001
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Studies of the association between arterial stiffness and atherosclerosis are contradictory. We studied stiffness of the aorta and the common carotid artery in relation to several indicators of atherosclerosis ...

Attempt to establish an experimental animal model of moyamoya disease using immuno-embolic material--histological changes of the arterial wall resulting from immunological reaction in cats. [PDF]

, 2003
In this study, we investigated the relationship between intimal thickening of the internal carotid artery (ICA) and immunological reaction, and between occlusion of the ICA and development of basal collateral vessels in moyamoya disease.
