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.

A sticky substance called plaque can develop, narrowing the arteries and reducing blood flow. This can lead to clot formation, which can break off and travel to the brain, causing a stroke. Some risk factors for carotid artery disease include: smoking, diabetes, high blood pressure or cholesterol, family history, and obesity.
Patient Information-Carotid disease
One branch supplies the face (external carotid artery). The other branch passes directly to the brain with no other branches in the neck (internal carotid artery). Arteries tend to narrow where they divide. Narrowing at the carotid bifurcation (division of common carotid artery) may directly restrict the blood supply to the brain.
