✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Studies evaluating the static and dynamic characteristics of the common carotid bifurcation are described. Slow motion angiographic frames, real time B-mode images and time position M-mode tracings have demonstrated appreciable vessel wall motion with an increase in distensibility at the carotid bulb compared to the proximal common carotid artery. Histopathological studies suggest that changes in the carotid artery elastin and collagen structure may contribute to the increased distensibility at the carotid bulb. The presence or absence of a cervical bruit did not correlate with the ultrasonic demonstration of plaque or blood flow turbulence. Mechanical factors relating to the development of symptoms of cerebral ischaemia are discussed.
