Using data from the Rotterdam Study in the Netherlands, researchers have uncovered that carotid artery plaques can undergo potentially dangerous changes over time in patients without symptoms, ...

We describe a fully automated ultrasound analysis system that tracks and identifies the common carotid artery (CCA) and the internal jugular vein (IJV). Our goal is to prevent inadvertent damage to ...

The target lesion was in the internal carotid artery (ICA) alone in about 80% of cases; the remaining cases represented the ICA plus common carotid artery.

PSVs and end-diastolic velocities of the ICA and common carotid artery were recorded. Patients with PSVs of the ICA of > 140 cm/s underwent carotid computed tomographic (CT) angiography.

Carotid artery disease develops when the arteries that carry blood to the brain get narrower or clogged due to plaque buildup. Learn more about the symptoms and risk factors here.

The carotid arteries are neck arteries located on both sides of the neck that supply blood to the brain and parts of the head and neck. The internal carotid artery is a major branch of the common ...

Ultrasound examination, performed on the second day after admission to the hospital (3–4 days from the onset of the symptoms), showed an eccentric normo- and hypoechoic thickening of the right common ...

She subsequently developed sudden onset aphasia and right hemiparesis with occlusion of the cervical left internal carotid artery (Figure 1). Endovascular therapy was attempted but unsuccessful.

Carotid angiography was performed, demonstrating dissection of the left common carotid extending into the internal carotid, aneurysmal degeneration, and a highly tortuous, redundant left internal ...

This study states that Stroke and mortality in patients with internal carotid artery (ICA) disease have been well described. However, the natural history and stroke risk associated with common carotid ...

Carotid Artery Disease & Stroke Your internal carotid arteries carry blood to your brain. The most common cause of strokes is when a piece of plaque inside the arteries of your neck breaks loose. Your ...
