1. In previous studies, the elastic properties of the common carotid artery were found to differ between men and women. In these studies, however, the phase of the menstrual cycle was not taken into consideration. It was the aim of the present study to investigate the effect of changing ovarian hormone levels during the normal menstrual cycle on the arterial wall properties of female large arteries. 2. We investigated the elastic right common carotid artery and the muscular right common femoral artery of normotensive young (18–35 years) female subjects (n = 12). The arterial distensibility and cross-sectional compliance coefficients were determined by the use of a specially designed ultrasonic wall-tracking device and measurements of automatic brachial artery cuff blood pressure. The phase of the menstrual cycle was assessed by ultrasonographic evaluation and measurement of 17β-oestradiol and progesterone blood plasma levels. 3. The distensibility coefficient and the cross-sectional compliance coefficient of both the common carotid and the common femoral artery did not change significantly during the normal menstrual cycle despite evidently changing ovarian hormone levels. 4. We conclude that the menstrual cycle does not influence the arterial wall properties of either the elastic common carotid artery or the muscular common femoral artery.

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.
