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.

متن کاملCases of Common Carotid Artery Pseudoaneurysm Treated by Stent Graft
Common carotid artery (CCA) pseudoaneurysms are rare and potentially lethal, and adequate treatment is warranted in order to prevent rupture or neurologic sequelae. The causes of CCA pseudoaneurysm include blunt or penetrating trauma, infection, and vasculitis, as well as iatrogenic and unknown causes. Previously, surgery was the standard treatment for pseudoaneurysm. However, endovascular surg...
متن کاملTwo Cases with Free-Floating Thrombus in the Common Carotid Artery
Two patients had multiple embolic infarctions in the middle cerebral artery territory. Free-floating thrombi adherent to plaques were detected in the common carotid artery near the bifurcation using duplex ultrasonography. Further strokes did not occur under anticoagulation. The free-floating thrombi disappeared on follow-up sonography. Carotid duplex ultrasonography is useful for recognizing f...
