The correct intraoperative anatomic identification of the vascular structures in the carotid artery bifurcation is important, and in most operations, this is not a problem. Experiences with two cases are used to suggest a stepwise system to guarantee that anatomic confusion--a confusion that may be fatal--does not occur.
