IntroductionCarotid artery geometry may contribute to the development of atherosclerotic carotid artery disease (ACD). Prior reports associated ACD with narrow bifurcation angles, tortuous Common Carotid Arteries (CCA), and large bulbs. Our objective was to determine whether deviations in these geometric features at baseline can help predict stenosis severity at follow-up. MethodsA total of 20 human subjects (59{+/-}16 years old, range 31-85 years) with a 4.7{+/-}2.3 year (range 2.0-11.4 years)...
