Artery dissection occurs when a tear in the inner lining of an artery allows blood to penetrate the vessel wall, leading to the formation of an intramural haematoma. This vascular disturbance can ...

BACKGROUND: There is limited evidence of the relationship between aortic and iliac calcification and aortic events (aortic dissection or aneurysm rupture) and major adverse limb events (MALEs; ...

The arterial vasculature is the second most frequently calcified structure in the human body after the skeleton. Calcification of the aorta and aortic valves occurs in most individuals in westernized ...

Treatment with oral VEGFR-TKIs may carry an increased risk of aneurysm and artery dissection. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors targeting vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFR-TKIs) are ...

Background: Vertebral artery dissection (VAD) is an important cause of stroke in the young. It can present nonspecifically and may be misdiagnosed with adverse consequences. We assessed the frequency ...

New observational data showed no significant difference in subsequent ischemic stroke with anticoagulation compared with antiplatelet therapy, although there was a nonsignificant trend toward a lower ...

PHOENIX -- Anticoagulation worked at least as well as antiplatelet medication for stroke prevention after cervical artery dissection, an observational study suggested. Subsequent ischemic stroke was ...

Various conditions can lead to carotid artery neck pain. For instance, some people experience carotidynia, which is inflammation of the blood vessels. Carotid artery dissection can also cause pain in ...

New insights into spontaneous coronary artery dissection – a devastating cause of heart attacks in young, healthy patients – were presented today at the EAPCI Summit 2026.1 The summit is a ...

Dissection is a medical term for tissue separation. Spontaneous coronary artery dissection, SCAD, occurs when a tear or separation forms in the wall of a coronary artery. The tear leads to a ...

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a nonatherosclerotic, nontraumatic separation of the coronary arterial walls and causes acute coronary syndrome and sudden cardiac death. Image Credit: ...
