Transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR) is a hybrid carotid procedure in which stenting accomplished by making an incision at the base of neck & surgically exposing common artery. The evidence for TCAR safety efficacy comes from PROOF, ROADSTER, ROADSTER 2 studies. Society Vascular Surgery guidelines treatment disease (2022) opine to be least equivalent Carotid Endarterectomy (CEA) terms e...

OBJECTIVE We assessed the protective effect on a carotid artery stenosis rat model with using a combination of taurine and stenosis treatment. Rats were randomly divided into five groups: Group 1 (sham), Group 2 (model), Group 3 (stenosis removing), Group 4 (taurine), and Group 5 (combination). MATERIALS AND METHODS The carotid artery stenosis model was created by ligating the common carotid ...

The pathogenesis of embolic events ipsilateral to an occluded carotid artery is uncertain. To examine this question we combined occlusion of the left common carotid artery with embolism from the right common carotid artery in rats. Following ligation of the left carotid artery in 20 experimental rats, we irradiated the right carotid artery with a laser (632 nm, 200 mW/cm2, 12-15 minutes) follow...

We present the case of a 47-year-old man admitted to our department with an episode of aphasia. Duplex scan showed an occluded right internal carotid artery and severe left internal carotid artery stenosis. Contrast-enhanced computer tomography demonstrated a common trunk for both common carotid arteries anterior to the trachea and aberrant right subclavian artery posterior to the esophagus. Th...

B-mode ultrasound is increasingly used in clinical research to study the atherosclerotic process in the carotid arteries. The present investigation evaluated the feasibility of measuring intima-media thickness in the common femoral artery and assessed whether such measurement might provide further information on the extent of the atherosclerotic process in patients with familial hypercholestero...

The aim of this study is to evaluate the carotid artery intima media thickness and serum lipids in pediatric patients with epilepsy treated with valproic acid. The study included 44 pediatric epileptic and 40 healthy children. Intima media thickness of left common carotid artery and fasting lipid profile (total cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipopr...

In the search for a more reproducible focal ischemic stroke model in the rat, we systematically interrupted blood flow to the right middle cerebral artery territory by ligating the right middle cerebral artery, and the right and left common carotid arteries in succession. Using a laser-Doppler flowmeter, we found that the relative surface blood flow in cerebral cortex supplied by the right midd...

In this study we determined mean-average wall shear stress values in the common carotid artery and assessed if there is a difference in mean-average WSS between: 1) patients with bilateral carotid bifurcation disease and 2) similar-aged volunteers with no evidence of disease. Sixteen patients with bilateral disease of the carotid bifurcation, and 8 volunteers were included in the study. Magneti...

this is retrospective double-blind research, which was carried out in imam khomeini hospital in order to study the accuracy of color doppler ultrasonography for detecting the site and grade of stenosis in cervical carotid artery. 40 patients with mean age of 62 years studied with color doppler before dsa angiography. the most common sites of stenosis were left internal carotid (39.5%) and right...

was introduced into brachiocephalic angioplasty. This report is based on 299 performed angioplasty procedures. This number is divided as follows: innominate artery 7 (2 with stents), left subclavian artery 49 (15 with stents), right subclavian artery 18 (5 with stents), left common carotid artery 12 (6 with stents), right common carotid artery 5 (3 with stents), external carotid artery 21 (1 wi...
