The aimis the assessment of structural and functional state of common carotid artery by ultrasound in patients with non-Hodgkin malignant lymphomas (NHML) before and after chemotherapy.Materials and methods.The common carotid artery of 111 patients at different stages of NHML were examined via a “LOGIC 400” ultrasound.Results.The common carotid artery of patients with NHML is undergoing morphological modification with changes in thickness and diameter, which corresponds to a hypertrophic type of remodeling. There is an increase in the thickness of the complex “intima-media” and Kernogan`s index with decreasing the common carotid artery diameter by comparison with the control group. Chemotherapy improves the parameters of the common carotid artery while reducing the thickness of the complex “intima-media” and Kernogan`s index at different stages of NHML.Conclusion.Remodeling of the common carotid artery is associated with the developmental stage of NHML. Chemotherapy leads to an improvement of the morphological parameters of the common carotid artery, which evaluates the effect of the treatment.

Recanalization of chronic occlusion of the common carotid artery (CCA) in patients with a history of neck irradiation is challenging, both for vascular surgeons and interventional neuroradiologists. We describe a case of successful stenting of radio induced chronic occlusion of the right CCA in a 41-year-old patient with neurological deterioration and minor stroke due to cerebral hypoperfusion caused by concomitant bilateral arterial occlusions. Direct surgery and surgical bypass were considered contraindicated. The endovascular approach was successful and required multiple precautions during the procedure. We describe particular solutions, not used in day to day practice, that allowed us to carry out the endovascular treatment in this unusual situation.

Background:The observation of an intraluminal common carotid artery thrombus overlying a wall defect at ultrasonography or angiography is unusual. To our knowledge, there are no previous reports of a free-floating thrombus in the common carotid artery.Case Report:A 45-year-old woman who was previously healthy and on no medications presented with acute hemiparesis and aphasia. Following testing that included carotid duplex and trancranial Doppler ultrasonography, diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging, and digital subtraction angiography, the patient underwent emergency open embolectomy. No underlying wall defect was seen at the time of imaging or surgery. No obvious hypercoagulable state could be identified. Her NIH Stroke Scale score improved from 26 at admission to 2 at three months and 1 at one year.Conclusions:Multimodal imaging may have improved diagnosis and management in this patient with a unique finding. The source of the thrombus remains obscure.
