FAQ
If a carotid artery is patent, it means that the blood vessel remains open and unobstructed, allowing normal blood flow through it. A healthy, functioning carotid artery is crucial for supplying oxygen-rich blood to the brain. Blockages in this artery can lead to serious health complications such as stroke.
Ultrasound of the vertebral arteries can be variable in diameter. They should always demonstrate antegrade flow (toward the brain) and be low resistance similar to the ICA. Arrows indicate normal flow direction in the extra cerebrovascular circulation.
Presence of antegrade flow was significantly associated with large artery atherosclerosis as the cause of stroke. Rate of antegrade flow was much higher in patients with the large artery atherosclerosis subtype than in those with cardioembolism.
A normal physiological condition such as “patent” (meaning open) “antegrade flow” (meaning flowing forward) of the vertebral arteries” is not dangerous., rather it is totally appropriate.
Confirm the flow is antegrade i.e. towards the head – (normal) or retrograde (suggesting subclavian steal syndrome).
One hundred one people who did not have disease were studied; the overall mean flow rate was 395 ± 79 ml/min (mean ± S.D.). There was no significant correlation with age, height, or body surface area but there was with body weight (p < 0.05).
A normal physiological condition such as “patent” (meaning open) “antegrade flow” (meaning flowing forward) of the vertebral arteries” is not dangerous., rather it is totally appropriate.
Meaning of antegrade in English used to describe a forward direction or movement, for example the normal flow of blood in the body: The treatment resulted in improved antegrade pulmonary blood flow.
