our aim was to report techniques and our experience in one-stage angioplasty and stenting of ostium of left common carotid and left internal carotid arteries in an octogenarian man with transient ischemic attack, who was completely recovered from neurologic insults short time after the procedure. an 81-year-old man presented with a transient ischemic attack. neurologic examination showed left s...

the carotid is a small mass of chemoreceptor's and sustentacular cells that detects changes in the composition of the arterial blood. the aim of the present study was to identify the size, color, location, blood and nerve supply of the carotid body in makouei sheep. fourteen heads of sheep from both sexes were collected from urmia public slaughter-house. the exact situation and nerve supply of ...

The treatment of carotid artery stenosis is associated with the risk of complications, which may include stroke after carotid artery stenting (CAS) and myocardial infarction after carotid endarterectomy (CEA). The imbalance between prooxidative mechanisms and antioxidant capacity creates a milieu of factors, which may increase the risk of complications after endovascular procedures. We have exa...

Objective(s): The main goal of the current research was to examine the effects of Berberine (BBR) on apoptotic signaling and hippocampal oxidative stress induced by common carotid artery occlusion. Materials and Methods: Chronic cerebral hypoperfusion (CCH) model was created by occluding the two common carotid arteries (two-vessel occlusion [2VO]) permanently. BBR (50 and 100 mg/kg/daily) was i...

objective(s):the present study investigated the effect of long-term mild cerebral hypoperfusion induced by permanent unilateral (right) common carotid artery occlusion (uco) on the dorsal hippocampal neurons in rats. materials and methods:sixty four male sprague-dawley rats aged 4 months were divided into two groups of sham and uco. these two groups were further divided into 4 sets of histopath...

there are epidemiologic evidences suggested an increased carotid intima/media thickness (imt) as a predictor of cardiovascular disease events. the purpose of this study was to determine the differences of imt means in patients with positive and negative coronary angiographic findings. background: we conducted a case control study on patients with typical stable angina pectoris. the case group i...

variation of the branches of the external carotid artery (eca) is well known, but it is extremely rare for the occipital artery (oa) to arise from the internal carotid artery (ica). a 87-year-old man was found to have this anatomical variation on the right side by threedimensional computed tomography angiography for vascular mapping of the carotid arteries before superselective intra-arterial c...
