Abstract
Introduction. Ultrasound imaging allows us to study the influence of topographic and anatomical variability of the main vessels of the neck on hemodynamic parameters in the area of bifurcation of the common carotid artery (CCA). Aim. To assess the significance of changes in hemodynamic parameters on the damage of the main arteries near the bifurcation of the common carotid artery in different variants of the mutual position of vessels according to the results of ultrasound Dopplerography. Materials and methods. 865 volunteers were examined using SonoAce R7 and Logiq F6. The results were summarized, systematized and processed in Microsoft Excel 2007 spreadsheets and subjected to statistical analysis. Among the participants, 5 main variants of the mutual position of the vessels were identified: A – typical; Б – the external carotid artery (ECA) is located ventrally; В – the lateral position of the external carotid artery; Г – divergence or intersection of the carotid arteries near bifurcation; Д – joint medial deviation of both carotid arteries. Results. A total of 1730 vascular complexes were evaluated. The smallest diameter of the external carotid arteries was observed in groups A and B – 3.10 mm. The largest value of the diameter of the internal carotid arteries (ICA) was in group D – 4.20 mm and in group B – 4.10 mm. The diameter of the common carotid arteries in groups A and B was 5.50 mm, in groups D and D – 5.60 mm, and in group B – 5.70 mm. The volume velocity of blood flow had higher values in group D. The lowest indicators of volumetric blood flow velocity were noted in group A, for common carotid and internal carotid arteries – in group G. Conclusions. The smallest average and median diameter of the external carotid arteries was observed in types A and B. The highest median diameter of the internal carotid arteries was in group D (4.20 mm). The median value of the diameter of the common carotid arteries was the maximum in group B (5.70 mm). The presented observation results demonstrate the effect of anatomical variation on the morphometric and functional characteristics of the vascular bed, reflecting the change in the calculated volumetric velocity of blood flow.
