Résumé
Aging and atherosclerotic progression can lead to geometric changes in the carotid arteries. We conducted a longitudinal study to investigate geometric changes in the bilateral carotid arteries. We conducted a retrospective study of 177 subjects who underwent carotid contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) at our clinic at baseline and 10 years after the procedure. Semi-automated methods were used to segment the bilateral carotid arteries to obtain carotid artery geometric measurements. The mean age for the total population after 10 years was 70.7 ± 10.6 years (male, 40.1%). The mean time interval between baseline and after 10 years for all subjects was 130.2 ± 8.1 months. The bilateral bifurcation angle, the diameters for both common carotid arteries (CCAs), and areas of both CCAs significantly increased (p < 0.001) over a 10-year period. The maximum diameter and internal carotid artery area did not significantly change. The bifurcation angle of the right carotid artery was significantly increased compared to the left carotid artery. However, the diameter and area of the CCA of the left carotid artery was significantly increased compared to the right carotid artery. The bifurcation angle, diameter and area of both CCAs significantly increased over a decade. The change in the bifurcation angle over a 10-year period was predominant in the right carotid artery and the change of the area and diameter of the CCA was dominant in the left carotid artery.
