Extracranial-intracranial bypass for reconstruction of internal carotid artery in the management of head and neck cancer.

Symptomatic non-atherosclerotic bilateral extracranial vertebral artery occlusion treated with extracranial to intracranial bypass: case report.

Posterior fossa ischemia is not a very frequent situation. It is responsible for about 25% of all ischemic strokes, and the vast majority of the cases are related to atherosclerotic stenosis of the vertebral and/or basilar arteries. Acute ischemia can also occur in the setting of vertebral artery dissection, traumatic or spontaneous. Recently, blunt trauma has been increasingly recognized as a ...

Bypass to the intracranial giant or large internal carotid artery aneurysms: superficial temporal artery to middle cerebral artery bypass re-visited.

OBJECTIVE Hunterian ligation of the internal carotid artery is an acceptable treatment modality for inoperable intracranial carotid aneurysms. Despite the risk of thrombo-embolic complications, ligation together with superficial temporal artery-middle cerebral artery (STA-MCA) bypass surgery is vital in some patients. Our aim is to present our experience in five patients in whom STA-MCA bypass ...

A Penetrating Pellet Jeopardizing Internal Carotid Artery

Double-barrel extracranial–intracranial bypass surgery followed by endovascular carotid artery occlusion in a patient with an extracranial giant internal carotid artery aneurysm due to Ehlers–Danlos syndrome

OBJECTIVE In this case report we describe a successful interdisciplinary approach (including flow redirection and endovascular occlusion) applied to a patient with a continuously growing extracranial giant aneurysm of the right internal carotid artery (ICA) due to known Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. CASE PRESENTATION A 42-year-old man with a continuously growing extracranial giant aneurysm of the r...

Treatment of Supraclinoid Internal Carotid Artery Iatrogenic Pseudoaneurym with Extracranial-to- Intracranial Bypass and Trapping: Demonstration of Technique with Video Presentation.

Intracranial pseudoaneurysms (IP) represent about 1% of all patients presenting with an intracranial aneurysm. In true intracranial aneurysms, the intima, internal elastic lamina, and media are disrupted, but the adventitia is intact. In pseudoaneurysms, there is disruption of all three layers of the arterial wall, thus resulting in higher rates of re-hemorrhage and thrombus formation. Patients...
