Integrated non invasive approach to atherosclerosis with cardiac CT and carotid ultrasound in patients with suspected coronary heart disease.
2015
The aim of the study was to compare the atherosclerotic disease in the coronary and carotid arteries in patients who underwent non-invasive imaging for suspected stable coronary artery disease (CAD).

MULTIDISCIPLINARY APPROACH IN A SURGICAL PRECISION NECK STABBING
2021
Trauma involving the neck region are to always be considered as clinical/surgical emergencies because of the presence of vascular, nervous and lymphatic vessels, along with the pharyngo-esophageal and laryngo-tracheal structures. For this reason, therapeutic and diagnostic timing arouses great interest. The authors report the case of a conscious and hemodynamically stable man, presented to the emergency room for a neck penetrating trauma, caused by a knife passing through his neck (zone II) from right to left. A correct instrumental examination (CT angiography and selective right carotid axis angiography) and the multidisciplinary surgical approach proved to be fundamental for the safe extr…

2022
Surgical treatment of hindbrain ischemia is becoming the accepted surgical procedure in cases of stenosis of extracranial segments of vertebral arteries in the course of advanced atherosclerotic lesions in their initial segments (V1) or caused by external compression of these arteries in the canal formed by the transverse processes of cervical vertebrae. The latter is referred to as vertebrobasilar insufficiency (VBI). The transposition of the left vertebral artery to the common carotid artery in cases where stent graft implantation is necessary with coverage of the subclavian artery and possible blood supply disorders of both the hindbrain and the spinal cord has become important. In the D…

CEA vs CAS
2009
Objectives: Last years registered an increment in the number of endovascular procedures. Traditional carotid endoarterectomy (CEA) is the most performed surgical treatment for carotid stenosis. In symptomatic patients CEA reduces significantly absolute relative risk of stroke and death. In asymptomatic patients AHA guidelines recommend CEA for stenosis 60–99%, if the risk of perioperative stroke or death is <3%. According to 2007 Clinical Expert Consensus Document Carotid Artery Stenting (CAS) should be used in patients at high-risk for CEA or into controlled trials and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews does not support a widespread change in clinical practice away from recommending C…

Computed Tomography in Orbital Lesions
1981
Lesions in the orbits are characterized by unilateral or bilateral proptosis and/or disorders of ocular motion. Before the advent of computed tomography diagnosis was made on the basis of conventional radiological studies of the skull and the orbits as well as with ultrasonog-raphy, fluorescence angiography, phlebography of the ophthalmic vein, and arteriograms of the internal and external carotid arteries. The introduction of CT has brought about a correspondingdecline in the use of invasive procedures (Wende et al. 1977).
