ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Patients with acute ischemic stroke receive
computed tomography angiogram (CTA) and digital subtraction angiogram (DSA) for clinical …

PURPOSE: To report a series of patients with symptomatic internal carotid artery (ICA)
occlusion treated with angioplasty and stents. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From a …

Background The clinical consequences and factors related to the progression from a carotid
near-occlusion (CNO) to a complete occlusion are not well established. Our aim is to …

Purpose Acute intracranial internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion can mimic an extracranial
affectation on Computed Tomography angiography (CTA). This fact could be explained by …

Ziel: Alle bei der vaskulären Notfalldiagnostik des Schlaganfalls eingesetzten
Untersuchungsverfahren wie CTA, Farbduplex, MRA und DSA werden durch physikalische …

Background and Purpose The best method of selecting endarterectomy candidates for
cerebral angiography is controversial. Carotid duplex ultrasound (CDUS) is widely used, but …

BACKGROUND: To differentiate between pseudo occlusion (PO) and true occlusion (TO) of
internal carotid artery (ICA) is important in thrombectomy treatment planning for patients with …

ICAO patients (Supplementary Figure 1). Baseline characteristics were similar between
groups, except for a higher percentage of men among asymptomatic cases (Table 1) …

Background and purpose Studies on changes in the distal internal carotid artery based on
high resolution magnetic resonance imaging (HRMRI) are scarce. Herein, we propose a …

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of contrast-
enhanced ultrasound with a second-generation contrast agent in distinguishing between …
