Endoscopic Repair of Carotid Artery Injury

Background: Injury to the cavernous portion of the Internal Carotid Artery (ICA) during endoscopic skull base surgery is a well-recognized rare complication, which can be associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. Many techniques have been suggested to manage ICA injury with varying degrees of success. A detailed technical description of an operative technique for endoscopic managem...

Circumferential Suture Repair of Isolated Horizontal Meniscal Tears Augmented With Fibrin Clot

Traditionally, horizontal cleavage meniscus tears have been associated with osteoarthritis, indicative of the degenerative process. Recent treatment measures have focused on maintaining as much meniscal tissue as possible, despite the routine extension of these tears into the central white-white zones. In the absence of tunnel drilling for cruciate ligament reconstructions, the use of an exogen...

Report of a Variation of the Right Common Carotid Artery

Carotid artery is the most important artery that carries the major part of the blood supply to the head and neck. The branching of the common carotid artery usually occurs at the upper edge of the thyroid cartilage. The placement of carotid sinus has also increased its importance in this area. Considering the clinical importance of knowledge about carotid artery variations, this case is reporte...

Endovascular Stent Repair of a Carotid Artery Pseudoaneurysm

JUNE 2005 I ENDOVASCULAR TODAY I 29 C arotid pseudoaneurysm formation complicates 0.3% of all carotid endarterectomies.1 Mechanisms include suture failure, degeneration of the arterial wall and/or path material, trauma, and/or infection. Intra-aneurysmal turbulent flow promotes clot formation and dislodgment, with subsequent intracerebral embolization. Without treatment, pseudoaneurysms pose a ...
