OBJECTIVES: To assess whether there is mid-term reorganization in brain networks connectivity after Carotid Endarterectomy (CEA) using resting state functional connectivity Magnetic Resonance (fc-rsMR), with a special focus on...
Variations in carotid sinus anatomy and their relevance to carotid interventions.
BACKGROUND: The carotid sinus (CS) is a dilatation in the carotid bifurcation usually at the origin of proximal internal carotid artery (ICA). It contains baroreceptors which influence blood pressure. Variations in the location...
