Optimal cut-off criteria for duplex ultrasound for the diagnosis of restenosis in stented carotid arteries: Review and protocol for a diagnostic study [PDF]

, 2009
Background: Carotid angioplasty with stenting is a relatively new, increasingly used, less-invasive treatment for the treatment of symptomatic carotid artery stenosis. It is being evaluated in ongoing and nearly finished randomized trials.

Microvascular Damage Is Associated With Carotid Wall Structural Changes in Systemic Sclerosis: A Capillaroscopy and Ultrasound‐Based Observational Study

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is characterized by cardiovascular risk excess not fully explained by traditional factors. Whether the severity of microvascular damage correlates with structural subclinical atherosclerosis remains unclear. We investigated the relationship between nailfold videocapillaroscopy (NVC) abnormalities and carotid ...

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 ...

Open surgical repair for in-stent restenosis of internal carotid artery covered stent-graft

Annals of Vascular Surgery - Brief Reports and Innovations, 2023
Extracranial carotid artery aneurysms (ECAA) are rare vascular anomalies defined as any aneurysmal dilatation of the common, external, or internal carotid artery leading up to the skull base. Operative management is indicated due to the high incidence of

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 ...
