Pathological tortuosity of carotid artery ranks second among the causes of cerebro-vascular insufficiency. In their previous researches
authors have described the influence of pathological tortuosity type on carotid artery behaviour. In this article we discuss the influence
of different anatomic (bending angle, bulb size) and rheological factors on haemodynamics and stress-strain state of carotid artery
with pathological tortuosity. Decreasing of the bending angle leads to blood volume reduction in brain and possible formation of
