Somewhat common. If you have arterial plaque in the carotid, you need to do something to continue blood supply to the head. A stent is one of the approved methods and often used in that circumstance.
In the human, the right common carotid artery branches from the brachiocephalic artery, whereas the left common carotid artery comes directly from the aortic arch. In the cat, both common carotid arteries branch from the brachiocephalic artery.
1) maxillary artery 2) superficial temporal artery
The brachiocephalic artery divides into the right common carotid artery and the right subclavian artery.

Insertion of a metal coil, called a stent, that can be implanted permanently to keep a blocked artery open. This stenting procedure is becoming more common.
what examinations may ne performed to identify a lesion of the common carotid artery
The common carotid artery belongs to the circulatory system, specifically the arterial system. It is responsible for supplying oxygenated blood to the head and neck. The common carotid artery bifurcates into the internal and external carotid arteries, which further supply blood to the brain and face, respectively.
1) maxillary artery 2) superficial temporal artery
The major artery serving the tissues external to the skull is the external carotid artery. This artery branches off from the common carotid artery and supplies blood to structures such as the face, scalp, and neck.
internal
brachiocephalic artery
The common carotid artery primarily supplies blood to the head and neck. It branches into the internal carotid artery, which supplies the brain, and the external carotid artery, which supplies the face and neck structures. Thus, it plays a crucial role in delivering oxygenated blood to vital organs in these regions.
The bifurcation (splitting) of the common carotid artery is in line with/at the level of the intervertebral disc between the third and fourth cervical vertebral (between C3 and C4).
