4 Carotid vs. Coronary Disease: Differences in Plaque Morphology Despite the many similarities demonstrated in plaque morphology between the carotid and coronary circulation, there are several unique features of carotid plaque morphology related to the high flow rates and the shear forces caused by the bifurcation of the common carotid artery into the internal and external carotids. One of the most important is the ulcerated plaque, which is rare in the coronary artery circulation but relatively common in the carotid and other elastic arteries.
