BACKGROUND In horses, the extracranial and intracranial pathway of the internal carotid artery has been described. The extracranial pathway of the internal carotid artery begins at the carotid termination and runs on the dorsal surface of the medial compartment of the guttural pouch. Thereafter the internal carotid artery passes through the foramen lacerum to continue intracranially, forming pa...

Superior laryngeal artery (SLA) is one of the main branches of the superior thyroid artery that its main function is to supply blood to the larynx. This artery is accompanied by the internal branch of superior laryngeal nerve; this relation has anatomical and surgical significance. In this paper, a case of anomalous origin of the superior laryngeal artery is reported. Abnormal origin of SLA fro...

During the routine dissection of the neck region of a 77 years old male cadaver in the Department of Anatomy at Bankura Sammilani Medical College, a unilateral variation in the position and course of internal and external carotid arteries was noticed on the right side of neck. The internal carotid artery was anteromedial to the external carotid artery at the site of bifurcation of the common ca...

background: carotid artery stenting is now used as an alternative to surgical endarterectomy. this study was done to assess the feasibility, safety, and immediate and late clinical outcomes in patients undergoing carotid stenting . methods: between july 2008 and december 2009, a total of 40 patients (20 male, mean age: 65 ± 11 years, 19 symptomatic, and 90% high risk for endarterectomy) underwe...

lished treatment for hemoptysis (1-4). For complete embolization as well as to avoid embolization on a non-target organ, precise knowledge of the anatomy of the bronchial artery is important (5-7 ) . We describe a case in which an aberrant bronchial artery from left common carotid artery, communicating with the left bronchial artery, found during embolization of the bronchial artery, was a pote...

Figure 2: (A, anterior view) Volume-rendering reconstruction from computed tomography scan revealed that the following branches were arising from the abnormal aortic arch: left common carotid artery, right common carotid artery, right subclavian artery and left subclavian artery. The left common carotid artery contributed to the partial vascular ring; however, there were no symptoms of trachea-...

We report a patient who had an 80% asymptomatic stenosis in the distal right common carotid artery with an incidental finding of an aberrant branch arising from the right common carotid artery. He underwent an elective right carotid endarterectomy with an uneventful recovery. This is the first case in the literature of a successful endarterectomy in a patient with a common carotid anomaly and i...

conclusions high prevalence of the increased cimt in patients undergoing cabg highlights the significance of cimt measurement in early diagnosis of the systemic atherosclerosis. moreover, although traditional cardiovascular risk factors were important they could not explain the extension and the severity of cimt. it seems that some ultrasonographic features such as the associated carotid plaque...

The current work is done to see which artery has more chance of having cardiovascular diseases by measuring value of pressure gradient in the common carotid artery (CCA) and ascending aorta according to age and gender. Pressure gradient is determined in the CCA and ascending aorta of presumed healthy volunteers, having age between 10 and 60 years. A real 2D model of both aorta and common caroti...
