The First Report on Strategic Management of Bilateral Carotid Artery Stenosis: Exploring Surgical Challenges and Decision‐Making

Clinical Case Reports
Bilateral carotid artery stenosis is a significant risk factor for ischemic stroke, with a prevalence of 8%–39% among stroke patients. This report highlights a challenging case that highlights the complexities of treating bilateral carotid artery ...

Noninvasive Imaging of Carotid Arterial Strain Using Displacement-Encoded MRI [PDF]

, 2009
Stroke is the leading cause of disability in the United States and the third leading cause of death. These “brain attacks” occur when atherosclerosis, the progressive process of thickening and hardening of arterial walls, develops in the carotid ...

A critical reappraisal of the carotid sinus and carotid bulb: Distinguishing neurohistological function from vascular geometry

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
This review redefines the carotid bulb (CB) as a variable geometric dilation shaped by hemodynamics and the carotid sinus (CS) as a conserved neurohistological baroreceptor field. Distinguishing these entities clarifies a century of anatomical confusion and links geometry, neurohistology, and clinical interpretation within a unified framework ...

Common carotid intima media thickness and ankle-brachial pressure index correlate with local but not global atheroma burden:a cross sectional study using whole body magnetic resonance angiography [PDF]

, 2014
Common carotid intima media thickness (CIMT) and ankle brachial pressure index (ABPI) are used as surrogate marker of atherosclerosis, and have been shown to correlate with arterial stiffness, however their correlation with global atherosclerotic burden ...

Age‐Associated B Cells Contribute to Inflammation Via Antibody‐Independent Mechanisms in Takayasu Arteritis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Although Takayasu arteritis (TAK) is not a prototypical autoantibody‐mediated disease, accumulating evidence suggests that B cells are involved. This study aimed to investigate the pathway of B cell activation and its contributions to TAK pathogenesis. Methods Histologic analysis of paravascular lymph nodes and affected arteries was conducted

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 ...

Preclinical Serial Assessment of Virtual Physiology After Implantation of a Novel Endoluminal Resorbable Fibrillated Scaffold

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The resorbable fibrillated scaffold (RFS) is a novel electrospun, polylactide‐based endoluminal scaffold developed for peripheral arterial applications. Its porous microfibre architecture is intended to support host cell infiltration and vascular restoration.

Carotid Artery Stenting, Endarterectomy, or Medical Treatment Alone: The Debate Is Not Over [PDF]

Journal of Tehran University Heart Center, 2011
The management of carotid artery stenosis reduces the risk of stroke and its related deaths. Management options include risk factor modification and medical therapy, carotid endarterectomy (CEA), and carotid artery stenting (CAS).

Pentraxin 3, TNF-α, and LDL-C Are Associated With Carotid Artery Stenosis in Patients With Ischemic Stroke

Frontiers in Neurology, 2020
Background: Carotid artery stenosis (CAS), typically resulting from atherosclerotic progression, is more common than intracranial atherosclerotic disease in patients with cerebrovascular disease.
