- Carotid artery stenosis - Wikipedia
Based on the NASCET (The North American Symptomatic Carotid Endarterectomy Trial) criteria, the degree of carotid stenosis is defined as: [22] percent stenosis = ( 1 − ( minimum diameter within stenosis) ( poststenotic diameter ) ) × 100% Calculators have been developed to facilitate grading of carotid stenosis per NASCET criteria [23]
- Carotid stenting - Wikipedia
Carotid artery stenting is an endovascular procedure where a stent is deployed within the lumen of the carotid artery to treat narrowing of the carotid artery and decrease the risk of stroke It is used to treat narrowing of the carotid artery in high-risk patients, when carotid endarterectomy is considered too risky
- Carotid ultrasonography - Wikipedia
Carotid ultrasound is a low-cost, noninvasive, and accurate diagnostic imaging modality used to evaluate diseases of the carotid arteries [2] It is most often used to diagnose carotid artery stenosis, a form of atherosclerosis, and has the capability to assess plaque morphology and characteristics [1]
- Carotid endarterectomy - Wikipedia
Carotid endarterectomy is used to reduce the risk of strokes caused by carotid artery stenosis over time Carotid stenosis can either have symptoms (i e , be symptomatic), or be found by a doctor in the absence of symptoms (asymptomatic) - and the risk-reduction from endarterectomy is greater for symptomatic than asymptomatic patients
- Vascular surgery - Wikipedia
The most common of cerebrovascular conditions treated by vascular surgeons is carotid artery stenosis which is a narrowing of the carotid arteries and may be either clinically symptomatic or asymptomatic (silent) Carotid artery stenosis is caused by atherosclerosis whereby the buildup of atheromatous plaque inside the artery causes narrowing
- Common carotid artery - Wikipedia
Carotidynia is a syndrome marked by soreness of the carotid artery near the bifurcation Carotid stenosis may occur in patients with atherosclerosis The intima-media thickness of the carotid artery wall is a marker of subclinical atherosclerosis and it increases with age and with long-term exposure to particulate air pollution [9]
- Internal carotid artery - Wikipedia
The internal carotid artery is an artery in the neck which supplies the anterior and middle cerebral circulation [1]In human anatomy, the internal and external carotid arise from the common carotid artery, where it bifurcates at cervical vertebrae C3 or C4
- Intima–media thickness - Wikipedia
The carotid artery is the usual site of measurement of IMT and consensus statements for carotid IMT have been published for adults [12] and children [13] Often, carotid IMT is measured in three locations: in the common carotid artery (typically at one cm proximal to the flow divider), at the bifurcation, and in the internal carotid artery
