Velocity Pulsatility and Arterial Distensibility Along the Internal Carotid Artery

Velocity Pulsatility and Arterial Distensibility Along the Internal Carotid Artery

Background Attenuation of velocity pulsatility along the internal carotid artery (ICA) is deemed necessary to protect the microvasculature of the brain. The role of the carotid siphon within the whole ICA trajectory in pulsatility attenuation is still poorly understood. This study aims to assess art...
