Neurosonological studies, specifically transcranial Doppler (TCD) and transcranial color-coded duplex (TCCD), have high level of specificity and sensitivity and they are used as complementary tests ...

Abstract: The Doppler ultrasound is the most common technique for noninvasive quantification of blood flow, which, in turn, is of major clinical importance for the assessment of the cardiovascular ...

You have two carotid arteries in your neck that are responsible for supplying oxygen-rich blood to your head and brain. Like all arteries, carotid arteries are made up of three layers: An outer ...

In ultrasonography, the bi-dimensional mode (B-mode) allows the morphological and morphometric evaluation of several types of organs and tissues, while the Doppler mode allows the hemodynamic ...

Background: The Advanced Life Support guidelines (AHA, ERC) emphasize immediate resumption of chest compressions for 2 minutes after defibrillation for ventricular fibrillation (VF) or pulseless ...

Last month, the CGuard Prime Carotid Stent System from Miami, FL-based InspireMD became the first FDA-approved mesh-covered carotid stent for stroke prevention. The pivotal trial for PMA approval ...

Optimized medical therapy (OMT) is as effective as surgery for carotid revascularization in reducing stroke risk in the majority of patients with carotid artery stenosis, results of a planned interim ...

Sonolysis, an application of therapeutic ultrasound, reduced periprocedural cerebrovascular events during carotid endarterectomy. The safety profile of sonolysis was supported by a reported lack of ...

Abstract: Vector Doppler (VD) methods are increasingly attractive for the capability of providing angle-independent blood velocity measurements. This may be particularly important in carotid artery ...

Carotid angioplasty and stenting can help open up blocked carotid arteries. It’s often used to help prevent strokes, and your doctor might recommend it if you have a blocked artery. If you’re feeling ...
