Report of a Variation of the Right Common Carotid Artery
Carotid artery is the most important artery that carries the major part of the blood supply to the head and neck. The branching of the common carotid artery usually occurs at the upper edge of the thyroid cartilage. The placement of carotid sinus has also increased its importance in this area. Considering the clinical importance of knowledge about carotid artery variations, this case is reporte...
متن کاملComputationally efficient algorithm for the estimation of the intimamedia thickness of the common carotid artery
In this paper we propose a new computationally efficient algorithm for automatic estimation of intima and media boundary of common carotid artery (CCA) based on ultrasound (USG) image analysis. The intima-media thickness (IMT), equal to distance between intima and media boundary, is typically used to predict cardiovascular events like myocardial infarction and stroke. At present, it is measured...
متن کاملCommon carotid artery stump pressure in the gerbil stroke model.
In 106 slightly anaesthetised adult mongolian gerbils one common carotid artery (CCA) was ligated and the blood pressure in the distal and in the proximal stump was monitored for 8 minutes. The mean distal CCA stump pressure of the 39 nonsurvivors was 15 (+/- 6) mm Hg, that of the 25 survivors with retinocerebral infarcts was 25 (+/- 6) mm Hg, and that of the 42 intact survivors was 31 (+/- 7) ...
متن کاملIncident stroke is associated with common carotid artery diameter and not common carotid artery intima-media thickness.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The common carotid artery interadventitial diameter is measured on ultrasound images as the distance between the media-adventitia interfaces of the near and far walls. It is associated with common carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and left ventricular mass and might therefore also have an association with incident stroke. METHODS We studied 6255 individuals free of c...
متن کاملDuplication of the common carotid artery and the ipsilateral vertebral artery with a fenestration of the contralateral common carotid artery.
Neurology India | October-December 2008 | Vol 56 | Issue 4 with Cushing’s disease is approximately 80% whereas in children and adolescents it is approximately 47%.[1] The causes of hypertension in patients with Cushing’s disease are multifactorial. These include intrinsic glucocorticoid activity, activation of the renin-angiotensin system, and suppression of the vasodilatory systems.[1] Hyperte...
