Differences and Similarities Between Spontaneous Dissections of the Internal Carotid Artery and the Vertebral Artery
There are clinical, pathologic, and outcome differences in spontaneous dissections of the internal carotid artery vs those of the vertebral artery. Spontaneous cervical artery dissection is a major cause of stroke in younger patients. Spontaneous cervical artery dissection causes up to 25% of all ischemic strokes in patients 15 to 49 years of age (Putaala J et al, Stroke 2009;40:1195-203). Although constitutional and environmental factors are both thought to play a role in spontaneous cervical artery dissection, precise causes are poorly understood. Significant differences between spontaneous internal carotid artery disse...

Results of carotid artery stenting with transcervical access
Conclusions: CAS with the transcervical approach is a safe procedure with low incidence of stroke and complications. It can be used as an alternative to femoral access in patients with unfavorable aortoiliac or aortic arch anatomy.

Eagle Syndrome Presenting After Blunt Trauma: A Case Series
Eagle syndrome is an unusual phenomenon unfamiliar to most vascular surgeons. Patients develop neurologic or vascular manifestations arising from an elongated styloid process and/or an ossified stylohyoid ligament. These symptoms are secondary to irritation or compression of the neurovascular bundle within the carotid sheath. Presentations can vary from cervical pain and a globus sensation to carotid dissection, transient ischemic attacks, and stroke. Here we present a case series of the carotid subtype identified after blunt trauma.
