In my case I have a somewhat unusual cardiovascular system. My carotids do not bifurcate, I have one on the left and two on the right. The way the vessels come off I believe my subclavian is different than most as well. I'm an X-Man.

I'd much rather they have this detailed imaging before I ever let anyone cut into those areas under the assumption that I'm just like everybody else.

bach, how common or rare is this sort of thing?
Not sure of the numbers, I'm not into vascular, but a quick search shows that carotid artery anomalous anatomy is not so rare, and has clinical significance mostly in head and neck surgery but otherwise it's not particularly alarming or rare.
I had not been able to find much useful either, but I figure if it was a problem it would have surfaced before now. Nothing I can do about it and I do not worry about things I cannot change. Hell, I don't worry anyway. Not in my nature.
