Carotid blowout syndrome: endovascular management of a lesser known oncological emergency: case report

Abstract Background Carotid blowout syndrome (CBS) refers to a fatal hemorrhagic complication of cervical carotid arteries that occurs due rupture the extracranial artery or one its major branches in patients treated for head and neck malignancy. In this article, we will discuss two different spectrum CBS endovascular approach. Case presentation Two cases per oral bleeding presented emergency department. After were hemodynamically stabilized, CT angiography was done which showed type II III CBS, respectively. This followed by transfemoral supra-aortic digital subtraction angiogram coil embolization with scaffolding anchoring technique, respectively, patients. Conclusions Early recognition predictors multidisciplinary team is critical. The treatment approach relatively safe effective low rates morbidity mortality compared surgical CBS.
