Image and clinical analysis of common carotid web: a case report
Background A carotid web is a very rare vascular disease of the carotid artery, leading to thrombosis and ischemic stroke. Case presentation A 65-year-old male patient was admitted due to left limb weakness.

Ultrasound imaging of carotid web with atherosclerosis plaque: a case report
Background To the best of our knowledge, no previous studies on carotid webs with atherosclerosis plaque have been conducted. Thus, both radiologists and clinicians have insufficient knowledge of this disease, which could lead to misdiagnosis and missed ...

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

Long-term risk of carotid restenosis in patients randomly assigned to endovascular treatment or endarterectomy in the Carotid and Vertebral Artery Transluminal Angioplasty Study (CAVATAS): long-term follow-up of a randomised trial [PDF]
Background In the Carotid and Vertebral Artery Transluminal Angioplasty Study (CAVATAS), early recurrent carotid stenosis was more common in patients assigned to endovascular treatment than it was in patients assigned to endarterectomy (CEA), raising ...

A case of carotid web: Cause of stroke in healthy and young patients
Carotid webs are important, often undiagnosed causes of cryptogenic and recurrent strokes. CT angiography and digital subtraction angiography adequately demonstrate webs as linear filling defects in the carotid bulb.

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

The Value of Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound in the Evaluation of Carotid Web
ObjectivesThe purpose of this study was to investigate whether contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is more advantageous than conventional ultrasound in the diagnosis of carotid web (CaW) and to compare the clinical characteristics of patients in ...

Infarct Patterns in Patients With Symptomatic Carotid Webs
Background Carotid webs (CaWs) may explain embolic strokes particularly in young patients with cerebral embolism of otherwise undetermined cause. We aim to describe the radiological patterns of infarction in patients with symptomatic CaWs.

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]
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.

Reconstruction and quantification of the carotid artery bifurcation from 3D ultrasound images [PDF]
Three-dimensional (3-D) ultrasound is a relatively new technique, which is well suited to imaging superficial blood vessels, and potentially provides a useful, noninvasive method for generating anatomically realistic 3-D models of the peripheral ...
