Background: The correct diagnosis of internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion is crucial as it
limits unnecessary intervention, whereas correct identification of patients with severe ICA …

Aim This study aimed to assess the accuracy of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in
detecting extracranial carotid artery occlusion. Materials and methods A systematic literature …

Objective Investigations into imaging modalities in the diagnosis of extracranial carotid
artery occlusion (CAO) have raised questions about the inter-modality comparability of …

Background and Purpose—Our study evaluated noninvasive tests for the diagnosis of
atheromatous internal carotid artery (ICA) pseudo-occlusion. Methods—Twenty patients (17 …

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE While sensitive to internal carotid artery (ICA)
occlusion, carotid ultrasound can produce false‐positive results. CT angiography (CTA) has …

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) may occur both in
the acute and chronic internal carotid artery occlusion (ICAo). Thus, it is important to assess …

Background There is a paucity of literature on the natural history of extracranial carotid artery
occlusion (CAO). This study reviews the natural history of this patient cohort. Methods This …

OBJECTIVES: Modern conventional ultrasound is sensitive to slow flow, but may misclassify
some tight stenoses as occlusion. Symptomatic patients with tight proximal internal carotid …

Background and Purpose: Carotid endarterectomy (CE) has been shown to be beneficial in
patients with symptomatic high-grade internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis. Some authors …
