Leptomeningeal artery atherosclerosis visualized by angiography: clinical correlates.
Circumscribed atherosclerotic involvement of secondary and tertiary branches of major cerebral arteries is a common angiographic finding whose nature is rarely in question. However, widespread and severe changes are unusual, and radiologic interpretation may be more difficult. We recently cared for a patient whose angiogram demonstrated extensive involvement of leptomeningeal vessels and were p...
متن کاملHypertension correlates with lenticulostriate arteries visualized by 7T magnetic resonance angiography.
Hypertension, a major risk factor for stroke, is associated with altered arterial anatomy and function; however, the limited resolution of current imaging techniques has restricted the in vivo study of microvascular changes in the brain. In this report, we quantitatively examined the lenticulostriate arteries in hypertensive patients using ultrahigh-field 7T MRI. We compared the number of stems...
متن کاملIsolated unilateral absence of the right pulmonary artery in two cats visualized by computed tomography angiography
CASE SERIES SUMMARY Two cats were evaluated for progressive exercise intolerance, dyspnea and unilateral infiltrate of the left lung. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) revealed absence of the right pulmonary artery in both cats with systemic arterial collateral vessels perfusing the right segmental pulmonary arteries. In one case, the collateral vessels arose from the esophageal artery, whi...
متن کاملPersistent trigeminal artery variant detected by conventional angiography and magnetic resonance angiography-incidence and clinical significance-.
OBJECTIVE Persistent trigeminal artery variant (PTAV) is an anastomosis between the internal carotid artery (ICA) and the cerebellar artery without any interposing basilar artery segment. We discuss its probable embryological origin and emphasize clinical implications. METHODS Retrospectively 1250 conventional cerebral angiograms and 2947 cranial magnetic resonance angiographies (MRAs) were e...
متن کاملCarotid artery intima-media thickness measured by ultrasonography in normal clinical practice correlates well with atherosclerosis risk factors.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The intima-media thickness (IMT) of extracranial carotid arteries determined by B-mode ultrasound is a measurable index of the presence of atherosclerosis. The ultrasonographic scan protocol and the scan reading techniques used until now to measure IMT are, however, time consuming and require the participation of specialized research centers. In this study we present a cr...
