Carotid near-occlusion is distal ICA luminal collapse beyond a tight stenosis, where the
distal lumen should not be used for calculating percentage stenosis. Near-occlusion with full …

A complete occlusion of the internal carotid artery (ICA) is an important cause of
cerebrovascular disease. A never-symptomatic ICA occlusion has a relatively benign …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: To compare multisection CT angiography (CTA) analyzed

In the study of carotid arteries, modern techniques of imaging allow to analyze various
alterations beyond simple luminal narrowing, including the morphology of atherosclerotic …

Carotid atherosclerotic disease is one of the major preventable causes of ischaemic strokes.
