Introduction:In this study, a non-invasive method based on consecutive ultrasonic image processing is introduced to assess time rate changes of the carotid artery wall displacement, velocity and acceleration in the longitudinal direction. The application of these parameters to discriminate healthy and atherosclerotic arteries was evaluated. Methods:Longitudinal displacement rate of common ...

Background and Objective: Numerical modeling of biological structures would be very helpful tool to analyze hundreds of human body phenomena and also diseases diagnosis. One physiologic phenomenon is blood circulatory system and heart hemodynamic performance that can be simulated by utilizing lumped method. In this study, we can predict hemodynamic behavior of one artery of circulatory system (...

conclusions high prevalence of the increased cimt in patients undergoing cabg highlights the significance of cimt measurement in early diagnosis of the systemic atherosclerosis. moreover, although traditional cardiovascular risk factors were important they could not explain the extension and the severity of cimt. it seems that some ultrasonographic features such as the associated carotid plaque...

conclusion results reinforced the pivotal role of vascular geometry, with respect to hemodynamics, together with the importance of performing patient-specific cfd analyses, through which the effect of different blood flow conditions on the aneurysm hemodynamics could be evaluated. objectives this study aimed to investigate the effects of variations in heart rate and internal carotid artery (ica...

Post-traumatic sphenoid sinus pseudoaneurysm arising from the cavernous segment of internal carotidartery (ICA) is rare, and even rarer occurrence an associated carotid-cavernous fistula (CCF). Here we presentthe case a young male patient presenting with intractable epistaxis due to post-traumatic sinuspseudoaneurysm carotid artery simultaneous fistula.

Severe internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis is a common cause of cerebrovascular accident (CVA) in middle-aged patients. Contralateral carotid occlusion (CCO) in patients with severe ICA stenosis is associated with high risk of CVA. Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is associated with more complications in patients with CCO than those without CCO. In this study, we present the case of a 61-year-ol...

Evaluation of elastic properties of major arteries is subject of great interest with respect to the development of vascular diseases. In this study changes in diameter and cross-sectional area, stress-strain elastic modulus and stiffness of the common carotid arteries in healthy and atherosclerotic women and men were evaluated by using indirect end pressure changes. Variations in diameter and c...

one of the signifiant risk factor of ischemic stroke is carotid artery occlusion. although surgical treatment was disappointing in these patient but there is a growing reports of sucessful endovascular treatment recently. in this technical note 56 year-old man who suffered from bilateral carotid occlusion was revascularized. the penumbra thrombosuction system was applied to reduce the risk of d...
