Abstract
The blood flow in anomalous carotid bifurcation is associated with stroke. Changed character of the flow, especially the occurrence of vortex structures, has showed a high correlation with thrombus formation and the development of atherosclerotic changes. The purpose of this work is to perform comparative model measurements of the flow inside the internal carotid bifurcation and to evaluate the influence of the geometry - stenosis, aneurysm on changes in the interaction of the fluid with the wall surface, i.e. on the local hemodynamic. The study uses the Global Imaging Methods for visualization and measurement of the phantom blood flow. The evaluation of the measured dataset and their subsequent analysis confirms the impact on the origin and development of pathological changes.

One third of ischemic strokes are caused by atherosclerotic carotid bifurcation
Summary
The blood flow in anomalous carotid bifurcation is associated with stroke. Stroke is the third most common cause of death in developed countries. Carotid stenosis is responsible for more than 25 % of all ischemic strokes. The carotid artery is prone to aneurysms and the deposition of atherosclerotic plaques. It is caused by atherosclerotic degeneration, fibromuscular dysplasia or trauma. One third of ischemic strokes are caused by atherosclerotic carotid bifurcation. 15 % of stroke victims are warned by a transient ischemic attack and waiting until the first symptoms is risky. Early detection and prevention of stroke is important
