| Sumario: | <p id="p1">Anatomical variants of the carotid artery are rare, but if encountered pose unique challenges when surgical intervention is required. To our knowledge, an organized summary on surgical considerations for the wide range of carotid variants have not been formally outlined. In this manner, the objective of this book chapter is to outline the frequency and distribution of recorded anatomical variations of the carotid arteries and their branches, provide insight into their embryologic development, and discussion on when surgical intervention is required and how planning for anatomical variants may be considered. Both routine and unique approaches for carotid disease will be outlined with considerable emphasis of each approach based on normal, common, and rare anatomical variants with associated benefits and challenges for each procedure.</p> |
