Carotid artery occlusive disease
• Stroke is the third most common cause of death following cardiovascular disease and cancer and is the most common cause of neurological disability. 70-85% of stroke is ischemic and 20-30% is due to atherosclerosis of CCA. • Pathogenesis: endothelial injury or dysfunction-platelet aggregation and inward migration of mononuclear cells and lymphocytes-release of growth factors-migration and prol...
متن کاملRadiologic importance of a high-resistive vertebral artery Doppler waveform on carotid duplex ultrasonography.
OBJECTIVE The appearance of the vertebral artery (VA) waveform on a pulsed Doppler examination performed during standard carotid duplex ultrasonography (CDU) may suggest vertebrobasilar disease. We sought to determine the radiographic importance of high-resistive (HR) pulsed Doppler VA waveforms seen on CDU. METHODS The Noninvasive Vascular Laboratory database was queried for CDU studies noti...
متن کاملHemodynamics of carotid artery atherosclerotic occlusive disease.
Hemodynamic mechanisms for the initiation and progression of carotid bifurcation atherosclerotic occlusive disease have been extensively researched during the past few decades. Attention has focused on the carotid bulb, or sinus, where most atherosclerotic plaques are found. Herein, the authors review the seminal works that have led to an understanding of not only complex local hemodynamics but...
