Congenital variants and anomalies of the aortic arch are important to recognize as they may
be associated with vascular rings, congenital heart disease, and chromosomal …

Objective The aortic arch (AA) is the main conduit of the left side of the heart, providing a
blood supply to the head, neck, and upper limbs. As it travels through the thorax, the pattern …

Objective: To determine the prevalence and clinical significance of normal, variant, and
anomalous branching patterns of the aortic arch and the central veins on computed …

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency and gender distribution of
variations in the aortic arch branching pattern using 64-slice computed tomograhic …

Objective Transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR) has emerged as an alternative to
transfemoral carotid artery stenting (tfCAS). We investigated the proportion of carotid arteries …

Backgrounds and Purpose—To develop a scoring system to facilitate case selection for
carotid artery stenting based on anatomic features. Methods—Twelve experts comprising a …

274 Stroke January 2016 delay to reperfusion. 5 CTA can be time efficient when
immediately performed after noncontrast CT (NCCT), usually adding only 2 to 5 minutes to …

The purpose of this study was to describe the frequency of the variations in the branching
pattern of the aortic arch (AA) according to multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) …

Objectives: Very few studies have addressed the clinical significance of 'bovine'aortic arch
(BA). We sought to determine whether BA is associated with thoracic aortic disease …

Background and Purpose—Complex vascular anatomy might increase the risk of procedural
stroke during carotid artery stenting (CAS). Randomized controlled trial evidence that …
