Curvature and tortuosity of the superficial femoral artery: a possible risk factor for peripheral arterial disease.
Atherosclerosis in the superficial femoral artery (SFA) resulting in peripheral arterial disease is more common in men than women and shows a predilection for the region of the adductor canal. Blood flow patterns are related to development of atherosclerosis, and we investigated if curvature and tortuosity of the femoral artery differed between young men and women and if differences resulted in...
متن کاملCerebral atherosclerosis of Japanese.
I F has been clarified by epidemiological survey as well as pathological study that cerebrovascular disease in Japan is the major cause of death and the incidence of cerebral thrombosis is much higher than that of cerebral hemorrhage. On the other hand, the death rate due to arteriosclerotic heart disease is much lower in Japan compared with that in most of the western countries. Several report...
متن کاملUsefulness of Stent Implantation for Treatment of Intracranial Atherosclerotic Stenoses
PURPOSE We evaluated the usefulness of intracranial stent implantation for treating patients with atherosclerotic stenosis and with recurrent, ischemic, neurological symptoms despite having undergone medical therapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between March 2004 and April 2010, we attempted intracranial, stent-assisted angioplasty in 77 patients with 85 lesions (anterior circulation 73 cases, post...
متن کاملAnterior cerebral artery angioplasty for intracranial atherosclerosis.
BACKGROUND Angioplasty of the intracranial vasculature has been well described for the middle cerebral artery and carotid terminus, primarily in the setting of vasospasm following subarachnoid hemorrhage. Endovascular therapy for anterior cerebral artery stenosis has not heretofore been described. CASE REPORT We report the case of A1 segment angioplasty in a 77 year old man with presumed intr...
متن کاملMechanisms of ischemic stroke in patients with intracranial atherosclerosis: A high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging study
High-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (HRMRI) has a unique ability to provide an evaluation of the intracranial artery wall. This study aimed to investigate the possible mechanisms of ischemic stroke in patients with intracranial atherosclerosis using HRMRI. HRMRI was performed on 55 patients (38 male and 17 female) with acute cerebral infarction to investigate the lumen-intruding plaque a...
