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. Cases were roughly split between left ...

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.

There are two large common carotid arteries, one on each side of the neck. Each of these arteries separates into an external and internal carotid artery leading up to the brain.

Anatomy The internal carotid artery is one of many neck arteries and veins. One of a pair found on each side of the neck, the internal carotid artery branches off from the common carotid artery and ...

JOURNAL NAME: Voice of the Publisher, Vol.10 No.3, September 10, 2024 ABSTRACT: Common carotid artery thrombosis (CCT) represents 7% of supraaortic artery thrombosis (TSA). CCT is responsible for ...

People with nanoplastics in their arteries were twice as likely to have a heart attack, stroke or die early from any cause, a new study found.

Figure 1. A – ultrasound B-mode examination showing circumscribed, homogenously hypoechoic thickening (arrow) at the bifurcation of the right common carotid artery (RCCA), without signs of abnormal ...

Background: Although tortuosity of the internal carotid artery (ICA) can pose a significant challenge when performing mechanical thrombectomy, few studies have examined the impact of ICA tortuosity on ...

CT angiography showing bilateral common and internal carotid artery kinking along with a bovine aortic arch. The arrows are referring to the sites of kinking in different arteries. Figure 3 3D ...
