Carotid artery dissection

Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2004
Dissection of the carotid artery in the neck is a relatively common condition. Most dissections are spontaneous, likely related to activities that cause sudden stretch of the pharyngeal portion of the carotid artery. Many patients do not develop brain ischemia but have a triad of neck and head pain, Horner's syndrome, and pulsatile tinnitus.

Carotid Artery Evaluation

2021
Cerebrovascular disease is a significant cause of disability and mortality in the developed countries. Stroke is generally ischemic, secondary to emboli migration, often from a vulnerable plaque at the carotid bifurcation. Early detection and treatment of carotid artery disease are therefore crucial and noninvasive imaging modalities may provide ...

Carotid Artery Aneurysms

Vascular, 2004
We present the treatment of 17 extracranial carotid artery aneurysms in 16 patients (1 patient had bilateral lesions). There were 15 (93.75%) male patients and 1 (6.25%) female patient, with an average age of 64.8 years. Two (11.8%) aneurysms involved the common carotid artery and 15 (88.2%) the internal carotid artery. Two (11.8%) aneurysms presented

Carotid artery protection

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1962
The most serious complication that may be attendant upon radical surgery in the neck is compromise of the integrity of the carotid artery system either by elective ligation or by rupture. Such interference is not to be expected when the artery system is not violated technically and where the wound heals per primam.

Carotid-Artery Disease

New England Journal of Medicine, 1986
Few medical issues are more controversial than carotid endarterectomy. The subject has been featured in the general press and on prime-time television; dispute has been encouraged between surgeon and nonsurgeon, with "needless surgery" a refrain poorly concealed in the background. These debates usually have more passion than substance.

Aneurysms of the Carotid Artery

Seminars in Vascular Surgery, 2005
Carotid artery aneurysms are an uncommon but important problem. The available data suggests that, untreated, these aneurysms lead to neurologic symptoms from embolization. Pseudoaneurysms of the carotid artery result from injury or may be the long-term sequelae of a spontaneous carotid dissection.

Carotid artery injuries

The American Journal of Surgery, 1982
One-hundred twenty-nine patients with carotid artery injuries were analyzed to compare the results of revascularization with those of ligation or occlusion. In patients who present with central neurologic deficit short of coma (Grades 1 to 4), revascularization is clearly the operative method of choice.

Carotid Artery Revascularization

Topics in Stroke Rehabilitation, 2003
Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the United States, and up to one third of patients have a stroke secondary to carotid occlusive disease. Surgical management has firmly established itself as an important modality in treating this disease. Several prospective randomized trials have defined the patients that would have the most benefit from ...

Carotid Artery Surgery

2015
Carotid endarterectomy is at present the most frequent intervention on arterial vessels performed in vascular surgery units. Currently the surgical technique is significantly improved compared to 10 years ago with a consequent reduction in terms of mortality and morbidity.

Coiling of the Carotid Arteries

Southern Medical Journal, 1987
We have presented a case of extensive coiling of both common carotid arteries in which surgical reconstruction on the most severely affected side relieved symptoms of cerebrovascular insufficiency. The underlying lesion is believed to be congenital, and surgical correction is recommended in symptomatic patients.
