AUTOARTERIAL PLASTY OF EXTERNAL CAROTID ARTERY IN CASE OF STENOSIS AND INTERNAL CAROTID ARTERY OCCLUSION

Carotid angioplasty and stenting in a patient with high grade stenosis of Internal Carotid Artery associated with both vertebral arteries and contralateral carotid occlusion

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...

A case of internal carotid artery occlusion complicating embolization of the external carotid artery system.

A case of visual disturbance by embolization through the external carotid artery (ECA) after internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion is reported. A 65-year-old female presented left ICA occlusion 14 years ago. She was admitted with acute deterioration of left visual acuity. Ophthalmologically, the retinal central artery was occluded. Cerebral angiography disclosed an irregular wall at the left ...

External carotid artery in internal carotid artery occlusion. Angiographic, therapeutic, and prognostic considerations.

Twenty-three instances of internal carotid artery occlusion occurring with minimal neurological deficit in 22 patients are described. Although each of these patients was referred to the neurosurgical service for evaluation for an extracranial-intracranial microvascular bypass procedure, complete arteriographic evaluations of their cerebrovasculature suggested that alternative methods should be ...

A Penetrating Pellet Jeopardizing Internal Carotid Artery

Intracranial internal carotid artery stenosis.

The advent of EC/IC Bypass surgery has focused attention on selected patients who might benefit from this innovative procedure. There is a poverty of natural history data pertaining to all such lesions. Two centres (Memphis, Tennessee and London, Ontario) pooled their resources to carry out a retrospective review of 58 patients with angiographically-proven intracranial internal carotid artery s...
