Endovascular exclusion of a postendarterectomy carotid pseudoaneurysm

Ann Vasc Surg. 2003 Sep;17(5):558-61. doi: 10.1007/s10016-003-0034-x.

Abstract

Carotid pseudoaneurysms are rare occurrences. They often result from trauma, but can also present following carotid endarterectomy. Treating such pseudoaneurysms can be difficult due to previous surgery and limited access to the high internal carotid artery. A case involving a postendarterectomy carotid pseudoaneurysm treated via a femoral approach with a covered stent using endoluminal techniques is presented.
