Peri-Carotid Adipose Tissue and Atherosclerosis at Carotid Bifurcation [PDF]
Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2023 Vulnerable carotid plaques are responsible for 20% of the ischemic strokes. The identification of these asymptomatic carotid plaques that will become symptomatic is essential but remains unclear. Our main goal was to investigate whether the amount of the

The Axial Spin of the Carotid Bifurcation. [PDF]
Diagnostics (Basel), 2023 (1) Background: Twisted carotid bifurcations (CBs) lead to lateralized external carotid arteries (ECAs). Such variants are usually reported on a case-by-case basis. We aimed to study the anatomical possibilities of the axial spin of CB. (2) Methods: Determinations were made bilaterally on a retrospectively assessed sample of 150 cases, 88 males and 62 ...

Surgical Outcomes of Carotid Endarterectomy in Patients with Twisted Carotid Bifurcation: Focus on Postoperative Nerve Complications [PDF]
Neurologia Medico-ChirurgicaTwisted carotid bifurcation, a condition in which the internal carotid artery is positioned medially to the external carotid artery at the carotid bifurcation, is one of the anatomical variations encountered during carotid endarterectomy.

Analysis of the carotid bifurcation levels for carotid endarterectomy. [PDF]
Surg Neurol IntBackground: We have already introduced the visualization of the posterior belly of the digastric muscle, which is a major component of the styloid diaphragm (SD). This helped the carotid endarterectomy (CEA) simulation considering the carotid bifurcation or carotid plaque height and their accessibility.

Numerical investigation of the effect of carotid bifurcation stenosis degree on pulsatility characteristics [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2023 Arterial bifurcations are regions that are susceptible to hemodynamic effects and thrombus formation. In the current study, the hemodynamic effects of a simplified 3D model of an arterial bifurcation were simulated using the commercial computational ...

Hybrid Solution for Mycotic Pseudoaneurysm of Carotid Bifurcation [PDF]
Case Reports in Vascular Medicine, 2020 Mycotic pseudoaneurysms of the extracranial carotid artery are rare and need surgical treatment to prevent rupture or embolization. We treated a case of a carotid bifurcation pseudoaneurysm secondary to infection caused by Staphylococcus epidermidis.

An Alternative Approach to Carotid Endarterectomy in the High Carotid Bifurcation. [PDF]
Ann Vasc Surg, 2020 Surgical exposure of a high carotid bifurcation (HCB) for carotid endarterectomy (CEA) can be technically challenging due to the presence of bony structures in the most cranial portion of the neck and is associated with significant morbidity making carotid artery stenting (CAS) a common alternative.
