Cyclic variation of the common carotid artery structure in relation to prior atherosclerotic burden and physical activity [PDF]

, 2015
Background and aims: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) accounts for the most deaths of non-communicable diseases worldwide. It begins with structural and functional changes of the arterial system commonly known as the atherosclerotic process, starting ...

A cohort study of duplex Doppler examinations of the carotid artery in primary open angle glaucoma [PDF]

, 2014
Objectives To explore the possibility of pathological change in the common carotid artery at the bifurcation and in the internal carotid artery beyond the bifurcation which could contribute to a reduced diastolic pressure as observed in primary open ...

Evaluation of the Femoral Artery IMT as a Risk Factor of Cardiovascular Disease

Journal of Surgical Ultrasound, 2019
Purpose: The carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) is a risk factor for atherosclerosis that can predict the association of cardiovascular disease. Despite this, there have been few studies on the femoral artery IMT.

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]

, 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.

Prevalence of severe carotid artery stenosis and its association with echocardiographic parameters in maintenance hemodialysis patients

Türk Kardiyoloji Derneği Arşivi, 2014
Objectives: We aimed to determine the prevalence of significant carotid stenosis in maintenance hemodialysis patients and to identify biochemical and echocardiographic predictors of significant carotid stenosis in those patients.

Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stenting of carotid arteries: Early results [PDF]

Srpski Arhiv za Celokupno Lekarstvo, 2008
INTRODUCTION Treatment of carotid stenosis could be surgical: eversion endarterectomy, conventional endarterectomy and patch-plasty, resection with graft interposition and bypass procedure or, in the past few years, carotid artery angioplasty (PTA) with ...

Predictive haemodynamics in a one-dimensional human carotid artery bifurcation. Part II: application to graft design [PDF]

, 2008
A Bayesian surrogate modelling technique is proposed that may be able to predict an optimal bypass graft configuration for patients suffering with stenosis in the internal carotid artery (ICA). At the outset, this statistical technique is considered as a

Diagnostic agreement between panoramic radiographs and color doppler images of carotid atheroma

Journal of Applied Oral Science, 2009
The aim of this study was to investigate the agreement between diagnoses of calcified atheroma seen on panoramic radiographs and color Doppler images. Our interest stems from the fact that panoramic images can show the presence of atheroma regardless of ...

Diameter Reduction Determined Through Carotid Ultrasound Associated With Cardiovascular and All‐Cause Mortality: A Single‐Center Experience of 38 201 Consecutive Patients in Taiwan

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2021
Background Few studies have evaluated the prognostic significance of diameter‐based carotid sonographic measurements for mortality. We investigated whether a reduction in diameter of different carotid anatomical segments is associated with cardiovascular
