Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A 67-year-old male presented with a rare pseudoaneurysm caused by infection after carotid endarterectomy (CEA) performed for stenosis of the left internal carotid artery (ICA). Wound infection and recurrent bleeding from the operated ICA developed 1 month after surgery. Serial angiography showed that the post-CEA pseudoaneurysm gradually increased in size. The carotid balloon occlusion test revealed that the patient could not tolerate permanent ICA occlusion because of poorly developed collaterals. Direct surgical exposure of the aneurysm was impossible due to tight adhesion of the surrounding tissue, so common carotid to middle cerebral artery bypass using a radial artery graft was performed followed by ligation of the distal common carotid artery. Subsequently, retrograde blood flow from the ICA to the aneurysm was interrupted by embolization of the external carotid artery coil through the facial artery. Combined surgical and endovascular treatment is a therapeutic option for patients with post-CEA pseudoaneurysm, if either direct or endovascular surgery is unfeasible. |
