BackgroundThe posterior wall of the proximal internal carotid artery (ICA) is the predilection site for the development of stenosis. To optimally prevent stroke, identification of new risk factors for plaque progression is of high interest. Therefore, we studied the impact of carotid geometry and wall shear stress on cardiovascular magnetic resonan...

In this study, we evaluated the relationship between certain patient and stent characteristics with regards to their association with the development of restenosis. Carotid artery stenosis is a major cause of stroke. Carotid artery stenting is an FDA approved method for the treatment of carotid artery stenosis. However, carotid artery stenting has ...

A 79-year-old male patient who presented with dizziness and several syncopal episodes was admitted to our clinic. Medical history of the patient revealed arterial hypertension and multifocal atherosclerosis with a history of two ischemic left middle cerebral artery strokes within the last year, without residual deficits, two coronary artery bypass ...

Motion extracted from the carotid artery wall provides unique information for vascular health evaluation. Carotid artery longitudinal wall motion corresponds to the multiphasic arterial wall excursion in the direction parallel to blood flow during the cardiac cycle. While this motion phenomenon has been well characterized, there is a general lack o...

BackgroundThe purpose of this study was to clarify the effect of asymmetric COW variants on carotid flow changes, and proposed an easy estimate of the representative carotid flow volume for accurate numerical simulation.MethodsA total of 210 healthy adults receiving magnetic resonance angiography and carotid duplex sonography were included. Three a...

Purpose of ReviewPenetrating neck injuries constitute 5–10% of all emergency trauma presentations and are associated with a relatively high risk of mortality. The most common significant injury encountered in penetrating neck trauma is injury to the vasculature of the neck. This article reviews penetrating cervical vascular injuries, including init...

Persistent fetal communications between the carotid and vertebrobasilar systems are rare and most often discovered incidentally. We present the case of a patient with oropharyngeal cancer status post chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgical resection who developed acute oropharyngeal hemorrhage on postoperative day 36, originating from branche...

Purpose In the absence of literature data, we aimed to determine the long-term patency rates of middle/distal common carotid artery (CCA) stenting and to investigate predisposing factors in the development of in-stent restenosis (ISR). Materials and Methods Fifty-one patients (30 males, median age 63.5 years), who underwent stenting with 51 self-ex...

BackgroundIt has been proved that multi-contrast cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) vessel wall imaging could be used to characterize carotid vulnerable plaque components according to the signal intensity on different contrast images. The signal intensity of plaque components is mainly dependent on the values of T1 and T2 relaxation. T1 mappin...

BackgroundThis study was made to figure out, does low and high estradiol levels during in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles have a different effect on carotid artery distensibility (Cdis), carotid artery diameter (Cdia), blood pressure and metabolic factors? Can the stimulation protocol be considered safe to women’s vasculature?MethodsWe studied 28 ...
