To elucidate the connection between blood flow and the localized genesis and development of atherosclerosis and thrombosis at the human carotid artery bifurcation, detailed studies of the flow patterns and distributions of fluid velocity and wall shear rate in this region were carried out using a transparent segment of the carotid artery, prepared from a human subject postmortem, and cinemicrog...

PURPOSE To evaluate and compare the deliverability, positioning, stability, and effectiveness of aneurysm occlusion and the incidence of parent-artery thrombosis of two different types of platinum coils, using a canine carotid aneurysm model. METHODS 29 experimental canine carotid aneurysms (19 lateral, 6 bifurcation, and 4 terminal) were constructed and treated with complex-shaped fibered pl...

OBJECTIVE To describe the relationship between atherosclerosis and hearing thresholds in prediabetic patients with impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and to determine the efficacy of glycated albumin in predicting carotid artery atherosclerosis in patients with isolated IFG. SUBJECTS AND METHODS The study included 82 patients (aged 53.73-80 years) divided into two groups based on fasting glucose ...

Nine cases of carotid body tumor chemiodectomas in seven Patients are presented and diagnostic and therapeutic problems discussed Similar to other reports, many cases undergo operative exploration without correct preoper.ativ.e diagnosis or ability of the surgeon to handle such lesions. The most important factor for correct diagndsis is including carotid body in differential diagnosis of latera...

FOCAL neurological defects due to stenosis or occlusion within the main arterial trunks feeding the brain have become recognized with increasing frequency in recent years. However, until recently, knowledge concerning the effects of occlusion of the internal carotid artery has outstripped that of occlusion within the vertebral-basilar artery system. Both commonly produce ophthalmological featur...
