Arteries become clogged. Blood flow is restricted and oxygen is cut off. The result is a heart attack, the world's leading cause of death.

The clinical syndrome produced by a stroke is determined by the artery or arteries that are occluded. Blood is supplied to the brain by two major sets of arteries, the anterior and posterior ...

ABSTRACT: Introduction: Simultaneous bithalamic infarction is rare and is typically related to occlusion of a common trunk supplying both paramedian thalamic arteries, known as the artery of Percheron ...

PURPOSE: To demonstrate the relationship between of sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) expression and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). METHODS: The basilar arteries from a "double-hemorrhage" rabbit model of ...
