Report of a Variation of the Right Common Carotid Artery [PDF]

Journal of Kerman University of Medical Sciences, 2018
Carotid artery is the most important artery that carries the major part of the blood supply to the head and neck. The branching of the common carotid artery usually occurs at the upper edge of the thyroid cartilage.

Genetic susceptibility loci for cardiovascular disease and their impact on atherosclerotic plaques [PDF]

, 2018
Background: Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease in part caused by lipid uptake in the vascular wall, but the exact underlying mechanisms leading to acute myocardial infarction and stroke remain poorly understood. Large consortia identified

Effects of external irradiation of the neck region on intima media thickness of the common carotid artery

Cardiovascular Ultrasound, 2010
BackgroundSeveral studies have shown that common carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) is increased after radiotherapy (RT) to the head and neck. However, further studies are needed to define the exact mechanism of radiation-induced injury in large ...

Bilateral anatomical variation in branching pattern of external carotid artery in a male cadaver: A case report

Russian Open Medical Journal, 2014
Developmental anomalies in the origin and branching pattern of the external carotid artery are not common. The level of the bifurcation of the common carotid artery and also the variations in the origin/branching pattern of the external carotid artery ...

Impact of Intima–Media Thickness Progression in the Common Carotid Arteries on the Risk of Incident Cardiovascular Disease in the Suita Study

Journal of the American Heart Association : Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2018
Background No prospective study of the relationship between intima–media thickness (IMT) progression and incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been performed. Methods and Results We studied 4724 participants (mean age: 59.7±11.9 years; without CVD at

Bilateral common carotid artery aneurysms [PDF]

Vascular Medicine, 2006
Tracheal deviation was incidentally discovered on a chest X-ray of a 40-year-old man (Panel A). He had no focal complaints and the examination of his neck was unremarkable. However, a CT-scan revealed aneurysmal dilation of the proximal portion of both common carotid arteries (CCA) compressing the trachea (Panel B; R CCA/ L CCA, right/left common ...

Comparison of Carotid Plaque Score and Coronary Artery Calcium Score for Predicting Cardiovascular Disease Events: The Multi‐Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis

Journal of the American Heart Association : Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2017
Background Coronary artery calcium (CAC) predicts coronary heart disease (CHD) events better than carotid wall plaque presence; however, differences in the utility of CAC burden and carotid plaque burden across the spectrum of cardiovascular disease (CVD)

Menopausal Status and Distensibility of the Common Carotid Artery [PDF]

Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 1999
Abstract —Although several studies have shown that exogenous estrogens have beneficial effects on arterial characteristics, the effect of endogenous estrogen on the vascular system is still unknown. In this study, distensibility, an indicator of arterial elasticity, of the common carotid artery was compared in pre- and ...
