arterial dissection

An arterial dissection starts with a tear inside one of the major arteries in the neck.

He said that is the technique that is most likely to cause arterial dissection.

Arterial dissections were once thought to be extremely rare and were usually detected only at autopsy.

There is, however, a small risk that once there has been an arterial dissection, the disorder will occur in another artery.

There is a real risk of arterial dissection [a torn artery].

Most deaths resulted from arterial dissection or rupture.

The most frequently reported injuries involved arterial dissection or spasm, and lesions of the brain stem.

One published this year examined 818 cases of stroke linked to arterial dissections at the back of the neck.

Strokes in people under age 45 are relatively rare, but these cervical arterial dissections are a leading cause of them.

Any sudden, abrupt neck movement or extreme neck position can cause an arterial dissection in a susceptible person.

Arterial dissections following cervical manipulation: the chiropractic experience.

Approximately 16 to 19 percent of strokes in young patients are attributed to spontaneous cervical arterial dissection, often accompanied by neck or head pain.

Many chiropractors state that, the association between chiropractic therapy and vertebral arterial dissection is not proven.

Prognosis of spontaneous cervical arterial dissection involves neurological and arterial results.

Delay Is Dangerous It is critically important to respond quickly to the early warning signs of an arterial dissection.

The stenosis that occurs in the early stages of arterial dissection is a dynamic process and some occlusions can return to stenosis very quickly.

He has written and published extensively on cerebral aneurysms, cerebrovascular arterial dissections, and collagen vascular disease as related to the central nervous system.

However, although an association with connective tissue disorders does exist, most people with spontaneous arterial dissections do not have associated connective tissue disorders.

Arterial dissection of the carotid arteries occurs when a small tear forms in the innermost lining of the arterial wall (known as the tunica intima).

They showed he had split the lining of his carotid artery during the fall - called arterial dissection, which is an uncommon but recognised cause of stroke in young people.

In 2001, The New England Journal of Medicine published an article that cites yoga as one of the many possible causes for arterial dissection in susceptible patients.

On March 30, 2015 Mick Cronin announced he had a clean bill of health and was cleared to return to full-time coaching duties following his diagnosis of an arterial dissection.

Acute arterial occlusion may develop as a result of arterial dissection in the carotid artery or aorta or as a result of iatrogenic arterial injury (e.g., after angiography).

A variety of complications can occur during cannulation, including vessel perforation with bleeding, arterial dissection, distal ischemia, and incorrect location (e.g., venous cannula placed within the artery), but these events occur highly infrequently.

An estimated one-fourth of patients who suffer an arterial dissection after chiropractic manipulation are believed to have an underlying connective tissue disorder or structural defect of the arterial wall that increases their vulnerability to arterial damage.
