Abstract Carotid artery atherosclerotic disease is a well-established risk factor for ischemic stroke. While often asymptomatic, the disease could present with symptoms resulting from low hemodynamic pressure in the carotid system or from emboli arising from carotid plaque.

Carotid Artery Occlusive Disease
Surgical Clinics of North America, 2013Carotid disease is a major contributor to stroke, one of the leading causes of death and disability in the United States. Clinically significant stenosis can be detected by duplex ultrasound using well-established criteria. In addition to optimal medical management, surgical and endovascular revascularizations of carotid disease have been demonstrated ...

Diseases of the intrapetrous carotid artery
Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology, 1988In the early years of skull base surgery, total tumor removal was often deemed impossible due to involvement of the intrapetrous carotid artery. In contrast, previously considered unresectable lesions may be removed totally in selected cases, with reasonable expectation of successful treatment at the present time.

The Diabetes Educator, 1985
Because macroangiopathy is a ma jor complication of diabetes, evalua tion of the carotid arteries for possible obstruction is of primary importance. Patients with transient ischemic at tacks, a precursor of strokes, are liable to have either a mechanical reduction of flow secondary to stenosis or a re lease of emboli from extracranial plaques. After a

Familiarity with the extra- and intracranial vessel anatomy is decisive for successful treatment of carotid artery disease. The right common carotid artery originates from the bifurcation of the brachiocephalic trunk, while the left one arises directly from the aortic arch. The common carotid artery does not have any side branches. Usually at the level

Carotid artery disease and cognitive impairment
Journal of the Neurological Sciences, 2012The term neurologic symptom usually relates to the loss of motor or sensory functions; cognitive deficit is mostly unrecognized in patients with severe carotid stenosis. In large population studies carotid stenosis has been shown as independent risk factor for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and it was not due to underlying vascular risk factors.

Carotid Artery Disease, Carotid Endarterectomy, and Behavior
Archives of Neurology, 1980Thirty-five carotid endarterectomy patients and 17 peripheral vascular surgery controls were evaluated psychologically preoperatively and postoperatively. The endarterectomy sample was restricted to patients with transient ischemic attacks. Neuropsychological tests included measures of language, attention, memory, problem solving, and sensory and motor

NONATHEROMATOUS CAROTID ARTERY DISEASE
Neuroimaging Clinics of North America, 1996Common and uncommon nonatheromatous diseases affecting the cervical carotid artery are discussed. Specifically, the radiographic and pertinent clinical features of cervical carotid artery congenital variants, dissection, fibromuscular dysplasia, Takayasu's arteritis, and infection are described.

Stroke is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in North America, affecting over half a million patients at a cost of over $30 billion a year. Depending on the population studied, extracranial internal carotid artery stenosis accounts for approximately 10–15% of ischemic strokes. Aside from these symptomatic cases, large population-based
