left common carotid artery
|
is a branch off of the arch of the aorta
|
|
|
considerations when using the common carotid artery
|
direct distribution to the face, close to the center of venous drainage, close to the center of circulation, independently inject the head and control the solution strengths and pressure(restricted cervical)
