Recently occluded intracranial and extracranial carotid arteries. Relevance of the unstable atherosclerotic plaque.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE It is now widely accepted that thrombotic coronary artery occlusion usually follows rupture of an unstable atherosclerotic plaque. The significance of such instability in arteries supplying the brain is less well appreciated. We therefore describe the clinical and pathological features of recent, symptomatic internal carotid artery occlusion to examine the pathogenetic ro...
متن کاملAngiographic anatomy of the extracranial and intracranial portions of the internal carotid arteries in donkeys
BACKGROUND In horses, the extracranial and intracranial pathway of the internal carotid artery has been described. The extracranial pathway of the internal carotid artery begins at the carotid termination and runs on the dorsal surface of the medial compartment of the guttural pouch. Thereafter the internal carotid artery passes through the foramen lacerum to continue intracranially, forming pa...
متن کاملAngioplasty and Stenting for Atherosclerosis of Extracranial and Intracranial Arteries
Although the traditional use of intravenous (IV) thrombolytics is restricted to within 3 hours of stroke onset, the use of intra-arterial (IA) therapy is proving to be more flexible, with the ultimate time window yet to be determined. Anecdotal evidence suggests that thrombectomy may be effective beyond the 6-hour window in properly selected patients.1 Clinical success and the incidence of comp...
متن کاملIntravascular Ultrasound for Intracranial and Extracranial Carotid Artery Stent Placement
Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) can provide valuable information regarding endoluminal morphology. We present the first description of IVUS-guided intracranial and extracranial carotid artery stent placement for arterial dissection. A 41-year-old female with a sudden-onset headache and blurred vision underwent a computed tomography (CT) angiogram imaging that revealed bilateral carotid artery d...
متن کاملIntracranial dissection and extracranial hypoplasia of the internal carotid artery.
issection of the intracranial portion of the internal carotid artery (ICA) is an uncommon cause of stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA). Congenital anomalies of the ICA have been rarely associated with cerebral ischemia. However, unilateral ICA hypoplasia can be frequently associated with intracranial arterial anomalies and altered hemodynamics.1 We describe the case of a woman who had sud...
