Correlation of Plaque Localization with Characteristics of the Cervical Carotid Artery Wall

Abstract

It has been proved that development of the atheromatous plaque at the carotid bifurcation is related with its variability. We examined a correlation of plaque localization with characteristics of the cervical carotid artery wall. We studied the thickness and length of the atheromatous plaque of the carotid bifurcation and wall characteristics of the carotid artery.
Our results suggest the atheromatous plaque localized at the carotid bifurcation, restricted elastic artery and transitional zone that changed to muscular artery.
