    Insights

    Retrograde brachial angiography successfully visualized the right vertebral artery, basilar artery, and right carotid artery in most patients. This technique also achieved retrograde filling of the left internal carotid and vertebral arteries in some cases, aiding cranial angiography.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Vascular Imaging
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Cerebral angiography is crucial for diagnosing cerebrovascular diseases.
    • Standard angiography techniques may have limitations in visualizing the complete circle of Willis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of right retrograde brachial angiography with left common carotid artery compression.
    • To assess the potential of this technique for achieving complete four-vessel cranial angiography.

    Main Methods:

    • Right retrograde brachial angiography was performed in 12 patients.
    • Simultaneous compression of the left common carotid artery was applied during the procedure.

    Main Results:

    • Consistent filling of the right vertebral artery and basilar artery was observed.
    • The right carotid artery and its branches filled in all but one patient.
    • Retrograde filling of the left internal carotid artery occurred in 8 patients, and the left vertebral artery in 5 patients.

    Conclusions:

    • Right retrograde brachial angiography with left common carotid artery compression is a safe and valuable adjunct.
    • This method can facilitate complete four-vessel cranial angiography in a significant proportion of patients.

    The Arch of Aorta

    The coronary arteries, originating from the ascending aorta, bifurcate from two sinuses located within the ascending aorta. Positioned just above the aortic semilunar valve, these sinuses house essential aortic baroreceptors and chemoreceptors, crucial for maintaining cardiac function. The left coronary artery and the right coronary artery branch off from the left posterior and anterior aortic sinuses, respectively.
    Encircling the heart, the coronary arteries form a ring-like structure before...

    Arteries of the Head and Neck

    The human body's intricate network of arteries ensures that every organ system receives the necessary oxygen and nutrients for optimal function. The arterial network in the head and neck region is particularly complex, providing vital blood flow to the brain, eyes, and other critical structures. Prominent arteries in this region include the internal carotid arteries and the vertebral arteries.
    The internal carotid arteries supply blood to the anterior portion of the cerebrum. They enter the...
