Floating thrombus in the common carotid artery [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Ultrasound, 2010
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

Long-segment common carotid occlusion presenting with limb-shaking transient ischemic attack: Case report

open access: yesFrontiers in Surgery, 2023
BackgroundLimb-shaking transient ischemic attack (LS-TIA) is a rare manifestation of carotid artery occlusion. Common carotid artery occlusion (CCAO) is a relatively rare condition, and both its natural history and recommendations for treatment are still

Endovascular treatment with angioplasty or stenting versus endarterectomy in patients with carotid artery stenosis in the Carotid And Vertebral Artery Transluminal Angioplasty Study (CAVATAS): long-term follow-up of a randomised trial [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Endovascular treatment (angioplasty with or without stenting) is an alternative to carotid endarterectomy for carotid artery stenosis but there are scarce long-term efficacy data showing that it prevents stroke.

Reconstruction and quantification of the carotid artery bifurcation from 3D ultrasound images [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Three-dimensional (3-D) ultrasound is a relatively new technique, which is well suited to imaging superficial blood vessels, and potentially provides a useful, noninvasive method for generating anatomically realistic 3-D models of the peripheral ...

Length of carotid stenosis predicts peri-procedural stroke or death and restenosis in patients randomized to endovascular treatment or endarterectomy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
BackgroundThe 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 ...

Variations in external carotid artery branches and common carotid bifurcation level: a computed tomography angiography study

open access: yesThe Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, 2023
Background The common carotid bifurcation level is an important surgical landmark during head and neck surgery, especially endarterectomy, that could be omitted in patients with high bifurcation levels to reduce damage to neighboring structures like the ...

Common carotid intima media thickness and ankle-brachial pressure index correlate with local but not global atheroma burden:a cross sectional study using whole body magnetic resonance angiography [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Common carotid intima media thickness (CIMT) and ankle brachial pressure index (ABPI) are used as surrogate marker of atherosclerosis, and have been shown to correlate with arterial stiffness, however their correlation with global atherosclerotic burden ...

Angiographic anatomy of the extracranial and intracranial portions of the internal carotid arteries in donkeys

open access: yesIrish Veterinary Journal, 2017
Background In horses, the extracranial and intracranial pathway of the internal carotid artery has been described. The extracranial pathway of the internal carotid artery begins at the carotid termination and runs on the dorsal surface of the medial ...
