Webb et al demonstrated that perfusion of both sides of the tongue in rabbits who had undergone unilateral ligation of the common carotid artery was indistinguishable from that of controls 1 week postoperatively. A favorite cause for an anterior circulation TIA is an embolus (blood clot) from the bifurcation (or splitting) of the common carotid artery in the neck into the internal and external carotid--the former carrying oxygenated blood to the brain and eye and the latter to the muscles and skin of the face and scalp. The PAES consists of a guiding catheter with an elastomeric balloon that is inflated in the common carotid artery (CCA) below (proximal to) the stenotic lesion being treated, and a hollow wire with an elastomeric balloon at its tip to occlude the external carotid artery (ECA). |
