1 Measurement and impact of proximal and distal tortuosity in carotid stenting procedures 
Gianluca Faggioli, MD, Monica Ferri, MD, Mauro Gargiulo, MD, Antonio Freyrie, MD, Francesca Fratesi, MD, Lamberto Manzoli, MD, Andrea Stella, MD  Journal of Vascular Surgery  Volume 46, Issue 6, Pages (December 2007) DOI: /j.jvs Copyright © 2007 The Society for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions

2 Fig 1 Method of tortuosity index (TI) measurement: (a) A + B + C = proximal TI; (b) A1 + B1 + C1 = distal TI. Journal of Vascular Surgery  , DOI: ( /j.jvs ) Copyright © 2007 The Society for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions

3 Fig 2 Influence of proximal tortuosity index (TI) in technical failure: (a) Technical failure in a bovine arch and severe proximal tortuosity (TI >150°); (b) carotid artery stenting is successful in a similar situation (bovine arch) but with TI <150°.
