The presence or absence of angina was then correlated with the presence of atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (CAD) using coronary CT angiography (CCTA). Patients were categorised into groups of ...

Thickening of intima-media complex in the common carotid artery is a biomarker of atherosclerosis. To automatically measure this thickness, we propose a region-based segmentation method, involving a ...

Although enthusiasm for transradial access for neurointerventional procedures has grown, a unique set of considerations bear emphasis to preserve safety and minimize complications. In the first part ...

Background and objectives Acute occlusion of the internal carotid artery (ICA) accompanied by contralateral A1 segment agenesis (CA-A1) presents distinct clinical and radiological features.

Conclusion: There is a significant correlation between white matter hyperintensities and both carotid stenoses and coronary artery disease. This finding is clinically relevant: in patients with white ...

Objective Low association between cardiac symptoms and coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with inflammatory joint diseases (IJD) demands for objective markers to improve cardiovascular risk ...

Atherosclerotic carotid artery stenosis is relatively frequent in older patients and is a major cause of disabling stroke or death. Carotid endarterectomy is currently considered the standard of ...

Endovascular treatment of extracranial carotid artery stenosis has been performed for over a decade. To date, however, CAS has only been compared with CEA in a few small randomized controlled ...

Beneficial effects of colestipol-niacin therapy on the common carotid artery. Two- and four-year reduction of intima-media thickness measured by ultrasound.

Conclusions: Carotid semiquantitative scores, grade scores, and lower limb scores are predictive factors for the need for coronary revascularization and can serve as auxiliary examinations for the ...

Arteries are pathways for blood to travel over our body. Carotid Artery is present in the neck of our human body. Carotid artery carries blood from the heart to our brain. There are two Carotid ...

Subintimal dissection with acute occlusion of the internal carotid artery resulting in acute cerebral infarction has not been reported as an iatrogenic complication of general anesthesia.An ...
