A total of 5182 carotid angiograms were reviewed. Abnormal bending of the internal carotid artery was detected in 310 (16.4%) cases. Forty-seven such cases were analysed. Twenty-five operations were performed, including the resection with end-to-end anastomosis (8), the resection with redressing and implantation into the former opening on the common carotid artery for loop formation (6) or S-bending (7). In one case of C-bending in the internal and external carotid arteries, the kinking was eliminated by means of a resection of a part of the common carotid artery. Indications for surgery are specified with reference to the kinking variant. Optimum types of reconstructions are proposed. There were no fatal outcomes. Seventeen patients were followed up for up to 5 years. The results of surgical treatment were fairly good.

Aortic dissection is a life-threatening vascular emergency associated with high morbidity and mortality. Clinical manifestations might include severe chest pain to neurological deficits, depending on the arterial segments involved. Extensive dissections involving multiple aortic segments and branch vessel occlusions, such as the carotid arteries, are rare and pose unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.

Central venous catheters (CVCs) are commonly used for multiple clinical purposes. The internal jugular vein (IJV) is preferred among the most frequently used insertion sites due to its higher success rates and lower complication risks. Although CVC placement is generally considered a safe procedure, several complications have been reported.

Introduction: We examined the associations of carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT), arterial stiffness index (ASI), and pulse pressure (PP) with cerebrovascular disease, cognitive function and decline, and incident cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and dementia in the UK Biobank cohort.
Methods: The study consisted of 42,711 participants (mean age 64.2 years) with brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), vascular assessments, and cognitive testing.

This study aims to explore the association between the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and the risk of carotid atherosclerosis (CAS) among Chinese steelworkers. This is a cross-sectional study involving a total of 4,203 Chinese steelworkers. The TyG index was calculated using the formula: TyG = Ln [fasting triglycerides (mg/dL) × fasting glucose (mg/dL) / 2].
