The dynamic displacement of the carotid arteries with interference of the hyoid bone during swallowing, named as "flip-flop" phenomenon (FFP), may be associated with ischemic stroke. However, the extent to which FFP is prevalent in carotid artery disease remains unknown. We aimed to investigate its exact prevalence to explore the relationship between FFP and carotid artery disease.
