Case Report: Two cases of survival after complete transection of the left common carotid artery
Penetrating carotid artery traumas are rare yet fatal injuries with a high rate of mortality, and survivors may live with neurological sequelae. Of all the types of penetrating carotid artery traumas, the total transection of the common carotid artery ...

Longitudinal wall motion of the common carotid artery can be assessed by velocity vector imaging
Velocity vector imaging (VVI) is novel ultrasound image analysis software, enabling simultaneous evaluation of longitudinal and radial tissue motion. This study aimed to investigate the possible usefulness of VVI in evaluating the longitudinal vessel ...

Media Thickness Measurement of the Common Carotid Artery [PDF]
The intima-media thickness (IMT) of the common carotid artery (CCA) is widely used as an early indicator of the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). It was proposed but not thoroughly investigated that the media thickness (MT), its composition and texture may be indicative for identifying the risk of stroke and differentiating between patients ...

Open surgical repair for in-stent restenosis of internal carotid artery covered stent-graft
Extracranial carotid artery aneurysms (ECAA) are rare vascular anomalies defined as any aneurysmal dilatation of the common, external, or internal carotid artery leading up to the skull base. Operative management is indicated due to the high incidence of

The baroreceptor reflex emanating from the carotid sinus and common carotid artery of the sheep : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Physiology at Massey University [PDF]
The aim of this project was to improve understanding of the role of the common carotid arterial baroreceptor mechanism in controlling peripheral blood pressure in the sheep.

Report of a Variation of the Right Common Carotid Artery [PDF]
Carotid artery is the most important artery that carries the major part of the blood supply to the head and neck. The branching of the common carotid artery usually occurs at the upper edge of the thyroid cartilage.

Bilateral common carotid artery aneurysms [PDF]
Tracheal deviation was incidentally discovered on a chest X-ray of a 40-year-old man (Panel A). He had no focal complaints and the examination of his neck was unremarkable. However, a CT-scan revealed aneurysmal dilation of the proximal portion of both common carotid arteries (CCA) compressing the trachea (Panel B; R CCA/ L CCA, right/left common ...
