Increased Risk of Carotid Artery Wall Thickening in COPD Intracranial atherosclerosis predicts, and may significantly increase the risk of, stroke in the general white population. Daniel Bos, MD ...

MRA of the Aortic Arch with Contrast Bolus. This study is complementary to the standard neck and intracranial MRA. It allows visualization of the common carotids, and especially the origin of the ...

If you’ve had a stroke, or have severe atherosclerosis in the brain arteries, carotid or intracranial stents may be an option for you. Atherosclerosis, a buildup of fat and other substances ...

Intracranial Disease: Cerebral Angiogram, right internal carotid artery (ICA) injection. Note the focal stenosis of the proximal middle cerebral artery (MCA). This patient has primary disease of the ...

Asymptomatic intracranial stenosis was twice as prevalent as asymptomatic carotid stenosis (14.8% vs 7.2%, RR 2.04, 95% CI 1.63-2.55), reported Peter Rothwell, MD, PhD, of John Radcliffe Hospital ...

Patients were divided into four groups based on treatment strategy: acute stenting of the extracranial internal carotid artery lesions with antithrombotic agents and intracranial thrombectomy ...

Patients requiring revascularization for carotid stenosis are more likely to develop intracranial hemorrhage and other unfavorable outcomes with carotid artery stenting (CAS) than with carotid ...

Although intracranial carotid artery calcification (ICAC) is a recognized risk factor for stroke in African Americans and Asians, a new study shows that it is also an important cause of strokes ...

There is no carotid rete in the rabbit or the rat. The carotid rete consists of a compact network of intertwined, freely anastomosing arteries, and is related to the branches of the trigeminal nerve.

There were clinical benefits to putting patients under a steady ultrasound beam during carotid endarterectomy, the phase III sham-controlled SONOBIRDIE trial found. Applied during the surgery for ...

A phase 2a study provides preliminary evidence that EDAS surgery to reroute brain arteries, used to treat moyamoya disease, may also reduce recurrent stroke in patients with intracranial stenosis.
