A brain aneurysm (also called a cerebral aneurysm or an intracranial aneurysm) is a ballooning arising from a weakened area in the wall of a blood vessel in the brain. If the brain aneurysm expands ...

Objective Low association between cardiac symptoms and coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with inflammatory joint diseases (IJD) demands for objective markers to improve cardiovascular risk ...

Background The Contour Neurovascular System (CNS, Stryker, Kalamazoo, MI) has a unique design that allows it to address various aneurysm morphologies, including wide-necked, irregular, and ...

Brain aneurysms, balloon-like bulges in brain blood vessels, often go unnoticed until rupture, leading to hemorrhagic stroke. Dr. Praveen Gupta emphasizes early detection, especially for high-risk ...

Henry Barnett discusses the controversial issue of whether patients older than 80 years should be treated with carotid endarterectomy, despite high risks and limited evidence from randomized trials.

Computer simulations based on the finite element method represent powerful tools for modeling blood flow through arteries. However, due to its computational complexity, this approach may be ...

Lumped method (Electrical analogy) is one of the reliable ways to model human cardiovascular system. In this study, cardiovascular system is simulated using lumped method and complemented by extra ...

Carotid plaque thickness and IMT are reliable indices for assessing the extent of coronary atherosclerosis. These results support previous studies which showed that the thickness of the largest plaque ...
