Unilateral developmental absence of internal carotid artery with contralateral middle cerebral artery occlusion

Challenges associated with vascular access through the common carotid artery during embalming procedures in humans: A technical note

The other vessels present, such as the unilateral common carotid artery and the two vertebral arteries, provide an adequate supply route for the preservation fluid [30].…”
