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 کاملDetecting misery perfusion in unilateral steno-occlusive disease of the internal carotid artery or middle cerebral artery by MR imaging.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Elevated OEF is a surrogate for misery perfusion. Our aim was to detect misery perfusion in patients with unilateral steno-occlusive disease of the ICA or MCA by using T2*-based MR imaging and to determine the relationship between brain ischemia and OEF. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-three patients with unilateral steno-occlusive disease of the ICA or MCA and 8 healthy v...
متن کاملPatients With Unilateral Internal Carotid Artery Occlusion
Background and Purpose: Ischemic episodes distal to an internal carotid artery occlusion are common. We undertook this study to look for evidence of transhemispheric passage of embolic material in this patient category as a mechanism for embolic events. Methods: Seven symptomatic patients with unilateral internal carotid artery occlusion and contralateral stenosis were examined by transcranial ...
متن کاملUnilateral agenesis of the internal carotid artery.
Unilateral agenesis of the internal carotid artery (ICA) is an extremely rare anomaly. Diagnosis is often incidental in a radiological examination. Recognition of this anomaly has important clinical implications because other life-threatening conditions can be associated and it must be taken into account when planning carotid surgery. We report a case of 64-year-old man with agenesis of the ICA.
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...
