Contrast‐enhanced transoral carotid ultrasonography for the evaluation of a long stenotic lesion in the internal carotid artery

چکیده
Contrast-enhanced transoral carotid ultrasonography (CETOCU) is a novel modality for imaging the distal extracranial internal carotid artery, which is not possible with conventional carotid ultrasonography. We present a representative case that demonstrates the usefulness of CETOCU.

Introduction: Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) is the standard method for detection of carotid artery stenosis. This technique has high radiation dose. With the progress of imaging techniques, noninvasive or minimally invasive methods like the CT angiography, MR angiography and ultrasonography with Doppler or Duplex mode were applicable. This study aimed to evaluate and assesse the results...
متن کاملPoststenotic flow and intracranial hemodynamics in patients with carotid stenosis: transoral carotid ultrasonography study.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE In severe carotid stenosis, blood supply via the poststenotic internal carotid artery (ICA) and collateral pathways determine cerebral perfusion. We investigated whether poststenotic flow on transoral carotid ultrasonography (TOCU) is predictive of cerebral hemodynamics. METHODS Eighty-eight patients with unilateral carotid stenosis underwent TOCU to analyze blood flow ...

Introduction: Doppler ultrasonography (DUS) is the most preferable method for screening of carotid artery disease in patients undergoing CABG. The purpose of this study was to investigate the frequency of carotid artery disease and determine the relation between known risk factors of atherosclerosis and rate of carotid artery narrowing in order to identify high-risk groups among patients schedu...
متن کاملA Lumped Parameter Method to Calculate the Effect of Internal Carotid Artery Occlusion on Anterior Cerebral Artery Pressure Waveform
Background and Objective: Numerical modeling of biological structures would be very helpful tool to analyze hundreds of human body phenomena and also diseases diagnosis. One physiologic phenomenon is blood circulatory system and heart hemodynamic performance that can be simulated by utilizing lumped method. In this study, we can predict hemodynamic behavior of one artery of circulatory system (...
