Delayed postoperative bleeding from polytetrafluoroethylene carotid artery patches

Delayed Endovascular Coil Extrusion following Internal Carotid Artery Embolization

Internal carotid artery injury is a rare and devastating complication of endoscopic sinus and skull base surgery that has an associated mortality rate of 15%. This case describes a patient who developed massive epistaxis following routine sinus surgery and was eventually diagnosed with a pseudoaneurysm of the cavernous internal carotid artery. Endovascular coiling and Onyx (Covidien, Irvine, Ca...

Traumatic internal carotid artery dissection presenting as delayed hemilingual paresis.

A case of internal carotid artery dissection presenting as delayed right hemilingual paresis after blunt craniocervical trauma is presented. Diagnosis is discussed with emphasis on MR and MR angiographic findings. Mechanisms of injury and lower cranial nerve palsy are also briefly discussed.

Immediate versus delayed treatment for recently symptomatic carotid artery stenosis.

BACKGROUND The timing of surgery for recently symptomatic carotid artery stenosis remains controversial. Early cerebral revascularization may prevent a disabling or fatal ischemic recurrence, but it may also increase the risk of hemorrhagic transformation, or of dislodging a thrombus. This review examined the randomized controlled evidence that addressed whether the increased risk of recurrent ...

A Penetrating Pellet Jeopardizing Internal Carotid Artery

-(carboxymethyl)lysine in debris from carotid artery stenting: multiple versus non-multiple postoperative lesions

Background: No predictor of postoperative ischemic events has been identified in patients undergoing carotid artery stenting. We aimed to determine whether N ε -(carboxymethyl)lysine in debris trapped by an embolic protection filter device is a predictor of postoperative ischemic events. Methods: We enrolled 27 patients (73.4 ± 7.2 years; 22 male, 5 female) who underwent carotid artery stenting...
