Traditionally, clinical carotid ultrasounds have only estimated the degree of blood lumen restriction, stenosis, a result of very advanced disease.

This part of the artery is known as the carotid sinus or the carotid bulb.

My carotid artery had ruptured.

I had seven ruptures of my carotid artery.

As research has shown, this process is not a result of stenosis.

And on the right you actually see a carotid artery that was engineered.

These cells normally act as special chemoreceptors located along blood vessels, particularly in the carotid bodies (at the bifurcation of the common carotid artery in the neck) and in aortic bodies (near the aortic arch).

A doctor from Brazil said he had never seen anyone survive a carotid artery rupture.

Sometimes the pulse cannot be taken at the wrist and is taken at the elbow (brachial artery), at the neck against the carotid artery (carotid pulse), behind the knee (popliteal artery), or in the foot dorsalis pedis or posterior tibial arteries.

The lungs, heart (supravalvular pulmonary stenosis), intestines, or arteries may be affected with a variety of severe impairments.

It's still getting some base level oxygen less because of the stenosis and ischemia but it still gets some oxygen.

And before I left the hospital, after a year of being hospitalized, I had seven ruptures of my carotid artery.

For example, fractures of the petrous temporal bone can selectively damage the nerve, as can aneurysms of the intracavernous carotid artery.

Arterial ultrasound, especially of the carotid arteries, with measurement of the thickness of the artery wall, offers a way to partially track the disease progression.

Now, a word that you might hear in a medical context is stenosis , and the word just refers to the narrowing, usually of a blood vessel.

You know from the videos on stenosis and ischemia and the videos on heart attacks that ischemia is a lack of blood flow to certain body tissues.

And then a third attempt, which also patched me back together pretty well, A doctor from Brazil said he had never seen anyone survive a carotid artery rupture.

They all imply some sort of narrowing, or stenosis, of arteries that leads to ischemia, reduced blood flow, so that the heart can't function as well as it otherwise could.

So when this guy is jogging, because he has restricted blood supply because the heart is experiencing ischemia downstream from this stenosis, that's why there's heart failure so not able to deliver

It can also refer to the narrowing of any type of tubular structure, so if you have any type of pipe in a biological system, you can use stenosis there, but usually they're talking about a blood vessel.

Now if you have stenosis in one of your blood vessels, and it leads to ischemia then the muscles, and let's just say this a coronary artery here... the muscle cells over here are going to get less oxygen.

They couldn t arrest him without shooting him in the leg. He made it even harder for them by cutting his carotid artery with a blade, says one of the newcomers, impressed by Taher s strength. He continues He s tall and big, he was a good match for them.

So, you can imagine that if we're really zoomed in on the surface of the heart and we're looking at the cardiac muscle tissue, if this person with this heart needed to go jogging and this cardiac muscle cell needed oxygen, they probably wouldn't be able to get the needed oxygen because of the stenosis which caused ischemia.
