Aim . The study of the structural and functional properties arteries in patients after a coronavirus disease 2019. Material methods included 113 people: 45 people who were examined before start COVID-19 pandemic, healthy individuals had (n=44), 24 with hypertension (HTN) combination prior COVID-19. In study, blood tests performed, while carotid evaluated using high-RF signal technology, applana...

A 39-year-old woman presented with a right-hemispheric stroke 1 year after she had suffered a left-hemispheric stroke. Her diagnostic workup was notable for bilateral occlusions of the internal carotid arteries at their origins and a positive lupus anticoagulant antibody test. There was no evidence of carotid dissection or another identifiable cause for her carotid occlusions. These findings su...

INTRODUCTION Clinically evident atherosclerosis is preceded by preclinical changes in the arterial wall. These changes are characterised by increased thickness of the intima-media complex (IMT). AIMS A complex ultrasound assessment of the peripheral vessels as well as an attempt to find ultrasound parameters correlating with the burden of atherosclerotic lesions of the coronary arteries. ME...

no surgical intervention was planned, given this finding we requested a computed tomography (CT) scan of the supra-aortic arteries, in order to determine the path of the internal carotid arteries. The study showed a progressively medial rostral-caudal path, which nearly contacted both carotids at the hypopharyngeal level (Fig. 2), with the latter being located in the prevertebral plane. A 3D re...

medications. Neurological examination revealed decerebrate rigidity and bilateral Babinski signs. CT on one day after admission demonstrated broad low-density area in the bilateral cerebral hemispheres, including the area of bilateral anterior cerebral artery and middle cerebral artery, but sparing the brainstem and occipital lobe (figure 1). Bilateral internal carotid artery embolisation was i...

Spontaneous bilateral cerebellar infarction in the territory of the superior cerebellar arteries is extremely rare. Occasionally there have been reports of bilateral cerebellar infarction due to vertebrobasilar atherosclerotic occlusion or stenosis, whereas no report of bilateral cerebellar infarction due to complicated hemodynamic changes. In this report, we present a patient with bilateral ce...

PURPOSE To review patients who have presented with acute strokes from a middle cerebral artery occlusion in whom in addition to the middle cerebral artery thromboembolus, an internal carotid artery occlusion has been present, and in whom angioplasty of these totally occluded internal carotid arteries has bee n successful. METHODS We reviewed retrospectively our experience in treating a cute s...

Introduction: Concurrent atherosclerosis of the intracranial and extracranial cerebrovascular system is common in Asians . Atherosclerotic diseases occurring in carotid arteries and intracranial arteries have been demonstrated to be associated transient ischemic attack (TIA) and stroke . Recently, Black-blood magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been increasingly applied for assessment of the c...

BACKGROUND Atherosclerotic lesions of the carotid and lower extremity arteries may be associated with renal artery stenosis and influence the management of patients with renal artery disease. OBJECTIVE To document the prevalence and clinical features of carotid and lower extremity arterial disease in patients with renal artery atherosclerosis. METHODS An analysis of baseline data on 149 pat...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Several studies have reported on the correlation of ultrasonic carotid plaque morphology, cerebrovascular symptoms, and intraplaque hemorrhage. This study correlates ultrasonic carotid plaque morphology with the degree of carotid stenosis. METHODS Carotid arteries (n=2460) were examined by using color duplex ultrasound during a 1-year period. Carotid stenoses were class...
