Methods: In this retrospective study, participants with carotid artery atherosclerosis who underwent carotid CTA and brain magnetic resonance imaging from May 2010 to December 2017 were studied. The participants were grouped into symptomatic and asymptomatic groups...

...Chan-Hyuk Lee; Sang Hyuk Lee; Young I. Cho; Seul-Ki Jeong Background: Common carotid artery (CCA) and internal carotid artery (ICA) are aligned linearly, but their hemodynamic role in ischemic stroke has not been studied in depth. Objectives: We aimed to investigate whether CCA and ICA endothelial...

... (range 5–153 months); patients underwent 4 ± 2.7 CDU (range 1–17); 86.3% had ≥1 neck MRA or CTA. After FMD diagnosis, 3 patients (2%) experienced a new carotid artery dissection; 1 patient experienced a stroke due to concomitant atherosclerosis. No new aneurysms occurred. In patients with cervical artery...

... risk factor. Recently, also the importance of diastolic WSS has been described. Still, it is unknown whether diastolic WSS carries similar cardiovascular risk factors compared to systolic WSS. Methods: Of 379 subjects (70–82 years, 56% male) diastolic and systolic WSS in the internal carotid arteries...

... in a healthy population. Methods: In a population of healthy male military pilots (n = 1,258) IMT of the common carotid artery and of the bifurcation and vascular risk factors were evaluated at baseline and serially with an annual follow-up for a period of 5 years. Results: Complete baseline and follow-up data...

...L. Saba; G. Mallarini Purpose: Carotid artery plaque with a disrupted fibrous cap is characterized by a higher tendency to rupture, resulting in a higher rate of transitory ischemic attack and stroke. The purpose of our study was to evaluate whether there is a statistically significant correlation...
