Balloon occlusion of the carotid artery prior to surgery for neck tumors.

چکیده
We present the results of presurgical balloon occlusion of the carotid artery in 22 patients with cervical lymphadenopathy stage N3. The procedure was found to be extremely useful in preventing rupture of the carotid artery, considered the most dangerous complication of neck cancer surgery. Complications of the balloon procedure were few (10%) when compared with surgical ligation of the carotid artery (41-54% stroke frequency and 32-60% mortality). This procedure also allows testing of the collateral circulation before final detachment of the balloon, a maneuver that prevents stroke in many patients.

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 ...

UNLABELLED The purpose of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of SPECT during temporary carotid balloon occlusion testing and to evaluate the changes in regional cerebral blood flow (CBF) and regional cerebral perfusion reserve (CPR) after permanent carotid occlusion. METHODS Temporary balloon occlusion testing was performed on 40 patients (24 head and neck tumors, 16 aneurysms). During...
