Segmentation of common and internal carotid arteries from 3D ultrasound images using adaptive triple U-Net [PDF]
, 2021 Objective: Vessel-wall-volume (VWV) and localized vessel-wall-thickness (VWT) measured from 3D ultrasound (US) carotid images are sensitive to anti-atherosclerotic effects of medical/dietary treatments. VWV and VWT measurements require the lumen-intima (LIB) and media-adventitia boundaries (MAB) at the common and internal carotid arteries (CCA and ICA).

Brachial artery pulse pressure and common carotid artery diameter: mutually independent associations with mortality in subjects with a recent history of impaired glucose tolerance [PDF]
, 2001 BACKGROUND: Decreased large artery function, as reflected by increased brachial artery pulse pressure and increased carotid artery diameter and stiffness, may contribute to the increased mortality risk that is observed in subjects with impaired glucose ...

A rare case of isolated, spontaneous, and asymptomatic common carotid artery dissection
Journal of Emergencies, Trauma and Shock, 2021 Carotid artery dissection begins as a tear in one of the carotid arteries of the neck, which allows blood under arterial pressure to enter the wall of the artery and split its layers.

Computational hemodynamics in arteries with the one-dimensional augmented fluid-structure interaction system: viscoelastic parameters estimation and comparison with in-vivo data [PDF]
J. Biomech. 100 (2020) 109595, 2019 Mathematical models are widely recognized as a valuable tool for cardiovascular diagnosis and the study of circulatory diseases, especially to obtain data that require otherwise invasive measurements. To correctly simulate body hemodynamics, the viscoelastic properties of vessel walls are a key aspect to be taken into account as they play an essential ...

Spontaneous common carotid artery dissection [PDF]
Journal of Vascular Surgery, 1993 A case of a symptomatic spontaneous common carotid artery dissection that occurred several months after an ipsilateral carotid endarterectomy is presented. The case was successfully managed with resection of the dissected common carotid artery and placement of an interposition saphenous vein graft. Examination of the specimen demonstrated cystic medial

Aberrant origin of left vertebral artery: a rare case [PDF]
, 2017 The Vertebral Artery (VA) is classically described as originating as the first branch of the ipsilateral subclavian artery. The VA origin is variable and has been identified at the aortic arch, Common Carotid Artery (CCA), and Internal Carotid Artery ...
