      In carotid artery disease, one or both of the carotid arteries becomes narrowed inside, as well as becoming stiffer. This makes it harder for blood to flow, and makes clots more likely to form. Arteries can become narrower inside if they get clogged with fatty substances in the blood sticking to the lining of the artery walls.
