Endovascular Repair of an Infected Broken Pseudoaneurysm of the Extracranial Internal Carotid Artery
نویسندگان
چکیده
The formation of pseudoaneurysms after carotid endarterectomy is extremely rare. Treating those pseudoaneuryms is necessary because of the risks for continued expansion, rupture and distal embolism. Traditional surgical repair of carotid artery pseudoaneurysms is associated with a high morbidity and mortality. An endovascular approach to these infected pseudoaneurysms limits the risk for operative damage to surrounding structures and potential blood loss.

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 ...
متن کاملHybrid endovascular and surgical approach for mycotic pseudoaneurysms of the extracranial internal carotid artery
OBJECTIVES Mycotic pseudoaneurysms of the extracranial internal carotid artery are rare, and their management often represents a challenge, but treatment is necessary due to the high risk of rupture and distal brain embolization. Systemic antibiotics associated with open surgical excision of the infected tissues and carotid reconstruction using autologous grafts are the treatment of choice. The...

We report a case of a posttraumatic extracranial pseudoaneurysm of the internal carotid artery that was treated successfully via embolization with Guglielmi detachable coils and placement of a Wallstent after surgical repair failed.
متن کاملEndovascular Treatment of Extracranial Internal Carotid Pseudoaneurysm: Description of Three Cases.
The aim of this study is to explore the possibility of endovascular treatment of internal carotid artery pseudoaneurysm (PSA). These lesions are difficult to treat with a surgical approach, especially if they are located extracranially and close to the skull base. Endovascular stent placement in symptomatic and unstable extracranial internal carotid PSA was found to be safe and effective. Depen...
متن کاملTelescoping Dual Covered Stent Graft Construct for Endovascular Treatment of a Giant Extracranial Carotid Artery Pseudoaneurysm
Large pseudoaneurysms which compress the parent vessel are challenging lesions to successfully treat with endovascular therapy. We describe the endovascular treatment of a giant extracranial carotid artery (ECCA) pseudoaneurysm resulting in substantial mass effect on the common carotid artery (CCA) bifurcation using a telescoping dual covered stent graft construct. A 56-year-old male was diagno...
