Summary
This study looked at 206 patients who had carotid artery surgery to see if the position of the hyoid bone (a small bone in the neck) near the carotid artery is linked to artery narrowing and stroke. Researchers used CT scans to measure the distance and angle between the hyoid bone and the carotid artery. The goal was to better understand how this bone might contribute to plaque buildup and stroke risk.
