The incidence of common carotid artery occlusion (CCAO) is approximately 3% in patients
who undergo angiography for symptomatic cerebrovascular disease; however, few studies …

Introduction A number of pre-hospital clinical assessment tools have been developed to
triage subjects with acute stroke due to large vessel occlusion (LVO) to a specialised …

In this issue, Manrique-Zegarra and co-workers present their comparison of CTA and DSA
when diagnosing carotid nearocclusion [1]. As Manrique-Zegarra describes, this is a …

Objective The main aim of the study was to investigate the predictive factors of high-
resolution magnetic resonance imaging (HR-MRI) for successful recanalization in patients …

In European men aged 60–79 years, moderate to severe carotid atherosclerosis (50–99%
using North American Symptomatic Carotid Endarterectomy Trial (NASCET) measurements) …

Accurate diagnosis of internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion is essential in the investigation
of carotid disease yet may be difficult using Duplex. Traditionally contrast arteriography has …

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of an echo-enhancing agent in
patients with carotid artery occlusion to improve the sensitivity and specificity of carotid color …

Ultrasonography (US) of the head and neck is a convenient but operator-dependent
screening tool for detection and diagnosis of neurovascular occlusive disease. In US …

Background The treatment strategy and the correct incidence of near occlusion (NO) of the
internal carotid artery (ICA) is still controversial. In routine radiological imaging NO can …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Acute occlusion of the ICA is often associated with poor
outcomes and severe neurologic deficits. This study was conducted to evaluate outcome of …
