Mandibular subluxation for distal internal carotid artery exposure in edentulous patients

A Penetrating Pellet Jeopardizing Internal Carotid Artery

Coiled distal internal carotid artery (ICA) aneurysm in transcranial sonography

Figure 1. A. Axial brain computed tomography (CT)angiography showing a giant left (Lt) distal internal carotid artery (ICA) aneurysm. B. Axial transcranial sonogram (mesencephalic level): Butterfly-shaped midbrain was encircled for better visualization (solid lines). Arrows indicate the coiled distal ICA aneurysm. He was monitored via daily transcranial sonography (TCS) for the potential develo...

Endovascular Treatment of the Distal Internal Carotid Artery Large Aneurysm

OBJECTIVE According to the development of endovascular technique and devices, larger aneurysms on the distal internal carotid artery (ICA) can be treated using a less invasive method. The authors report on clinical and angiographic outcomes of these aneurysms treated using an endovascular technique. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data on 21 patients with large aneurysms at distal ICA treated by endova...

Evaluation of distal extracranial internal carotid artery by transoral carotid ultrasonography in patients with severe carotid stenosis.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Conventional ultrasonography techniques do not allow visualization of the distal cervical segment of the internal carotid artery (ICA). In a study of patients with severe ICA stenosis, we performed transoral carotid ultrasonography (TOCU) to assess its ability to image this segment of the artery. METHODS The study participants consisted of 20 consecutive patients who ha...

Patients With Unilateral Internal Carotid Artery Occlusion

Background and Purpose: Ischemic episodes distal to an internal carotid artery occlusion are common. We undertook this study to look for evidence of transhemispheric passage of embolic material in this patient category as a mechanism for embolic events. Methods: Seven symptomatic patients with unilateral internal carotid artery occlusion and contralateral stenosis were examined by transcranial ...
