Fate of the external carotid artery following carotid interventions [PDF]
The external carotid artery (ECA) is an important collateral pathway for cerebral blood flow. Carotid artery stenting (CAS) typically crosses the ECA, while carotid endarterectomy (CEA) includes deliberate ECA plaque removal. The purpose of the present study was to compare the long-term patency of the ECA following CAS and CEA as determined by carotid ...

The contribution of the external carotid artery to cerebral perfusion in carotid disease [PDF]
In the presence of carotid occlusion, the external carotid artery (ECA) becomes an important source of cerebral blood flow, especially if the circle of Willis is incomplete. The contribution of the ECA to hemispheric blood flow in patients with severe ipsilateral carotid stenosis has never been previously investigated.One hundred eight patients were ...

Flow Velocities in the External Carotid Artery Following Carotid Revascularization [PDF]
To study the changes in peak systolic velocities of the ipsilateral external carotid artery (ECA) following carotid revascularization.All patients randomized to carotid artery stenting (CAS) or carotid endarterectomy (CEA) in the International Carotid Stenting Study (ICSS; ISRCTN25337470) in our center were included. Peak systolic velocities (PSV) were
