Common carotid intima-media thickness and risk of stroke and myocardial infarction: the Rotterdam Study.

Circulation, 1997
BACKGROUND Noninvasive assessment of intima-media thickness (IMT) is widely used in observational studies and trials as an intermediate or proxy end point for cardiovascular disease.

Effects of external irradiation of the neck region on intima media thickness of the common carotid artery

Cardiovascular Ultrasound, 2010
BackgroundSeveral studies have shown that common carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) is increased after radiotherapy (RT) to the head and neck. However, further studies are needed to define the exact mechanism of radiation-induced injury in large ...

Association of the RNF213 p.R4810K Variant With the Outer Diameter of Cervical Arteries in Patients With Ischemic Stroke

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology, 2022
Background We investigated the impact of the p.R4810K variant of RNF213 (ring finger protein 213) gene, a susceptibility gene of moyamoya disease in East Asia, on the outer diameter of cervical parts of carotid and vertebral arteries (VAs).

Electrophysiological Studies of the Smooth Muscle Cell Membrane of the Rabbit Common Carotid Artery

The Journal of General Physiology, 1971
The electrical responses of the smooth muscle cells of the rabbit common carotid artery to extracellular stimulation were studied in isotonic and hypertonic solution (1.7 times normal tonicity) with microelectrodes.

An alternative surgical approach reduces variability following filament induction of experimental stroke in mice

Disease Models & Mechanisms, 2017
Animal models are essential for understanding the pathology of stroke and investigating potential treatments. However, in vivo stroke models are associated, particularly in mice, with high variability in lesion volume.

Predicting intolerance to common carotid artery ligation by carotid angiography.

Journal of Neurosurgery, 1968
C ERVICAL carotid artery occlusion in its various forms (staged ligation, internal carotid artery ligation, common carotid artery ligation, and gradual clamping) continues to be a valuable procedure.

Two Cases Treated by Different Strategies for Common Carotid Artery Dissection with Thrombosis Due to a Type A Aortic Dissection

Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery
Total arch replacement and stent trunk were performed for two patients. One of these underwent a total bilateral carotid artery replacement in anatomical position while the other underwent partial carotid artery dissection. The first patient demonstrated

Low prevalence of significant carotid artery disease in Iranian patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass

Cardiovascular Ultrasound, 2007
Background Coronary artery bypass grafting ranks as one of the most frequent operations worldwide. The presence of carotid artery stenosis may increase the stroke rate in the perioperative period.

Biophysical Effects of Adrenaline on the Smooth Muscle of the Rabbit Common Carotid Artery

The Journal of General Physiology, 1972
Effects of adrenaline on the smooth muscle of the rabbit common carotid artery were studied by the partitional chamber method. The experiments on excitation-contraction coupling were carried out in isotonic Krebs solution; the other experiments were ...
