A cohort study of duplex Doppler examinations of the carotid artery in primary open angle glaucoma [PDF]
, 2014 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 ...

Minor stroke due to large artery occlusion. When is intravenous thrombolysis not enough? Results from the SITS International Stroke Thrombolysis Register [PDF]
, 2017 Purpose: Beyond intravenous thrombolysis, evidence is lacking on acute treatment of minor stroke caused by large artery occlusion. To identify candidates for additional endovascular therapy, we aimed to determine the frequency of non-haemorrhagic ...

Shear-Mediated Dilation of the Internal Carotid Artery Occurs Independent of Hypercapnia. [PDF]
, 2017 Evidence for shear stress as a regulator of carotid artery dilation in response to increased arterial carbon dioxide was recently demonstrated in humans during sustained elevations in CO2 (hypercapnia); however, the relative contributions of CO2 and ...

Carotid artery stenting with contralateral carotid occlusion in a rare aortic arch configuration [PDF]
, 2010 We present the case of a 47-year-old man admitted to our department with an episode of aphasia. Duplex scan showed an occluded right internal carotid artery and severe left internal carotid artery stenosis.

Predictive haemodynamics in a one-dimensional human carotid artery bifurcation. Part II: application to graft design [PDF]
, 2008 A Bayesian surrogate modelling technique is proposed that may be able to predict an optimal bypass graft configuration for patients suffering with stenosis in the internal carotid artery (ICA). At the outset, this statistical technique is considered as a

Tortuous internal carotid artery presenting as a pharyngeal mass [PDF]
, 2010 Background: Deformities of the carotid artery are rare. Tortuosity, kinking and coiling of the internal carotid artery may be observed with advancing age. A tortuous internal carotid artery may cause an abnormal sensation in the throat.

Successful interdisciplinary management of the misdeployment of two self-expanding stents into the internal carotid artery: a case report [PDF]
, 2010 Introduction With the widespread use of carotid artery stenting, previously unknown technical mistakes of this treatment modality are now being encountered. There are multiple strategies for the treatment of in-stent restenosis.

Evidence for Shear Stress-Mediated Dilation of the Internal Carotid Artery in Humans. [PDF]
, 2016 Increases in arterial carbon dioxide tension (hypercapnia) elicit potent vasodilation of cerebral arterioles. Recent studies have also reported vasodilation of the internal carotid artery during hypercapnia, but the mechanism(s) mediating this ...
