Endovascular treatment of iatrogenic penetrating trauma of the carotid artery: case report Tratamento endovascular de trauma penetrante iatrogênico de artéria carótida: relato de caso

چکیده
Carotid trauma demands early diagnosis and treatment. Open repair may be technically challenging if the trauma is at the base of the neck. We present a case of iatrogenic penetrating carotid trauma caused by insertion of a hemodialysis catheter. Treatment was accomplished by placement of a covered stent-graft in the common carotid artery, covering the puncture site. This case suggests that placement of a covered stent-graft is a good option for treatment of iatrogenic injury to the carotid artery.

Because penetrating injuries are more common, many trauma surgeons have relatively little experience in dealing with blunt subclavian artery injury. This case is the first report of acute or immediate endovascular repair with pseudoaneurysm stenting of the subclavian artery, as a result ...

Carotid artery thrombosis and concomitant brain infarction after blunt trauma are rare conditions. We report a 34-year-old woman with multiple traumas due to pedestrian car accident. At the time of initial visiting, she was somnolent and her Glasgow coma scale (GCS) score was 14. Initial vital signs (V/S) and brain computed tomography (CT) scan were normal. One day after admission to the emerge...
متن کاملAcute endovascular repair of iatrogenic right internal carotid arterial laceration
Carotid arterial bleeding is a feared and possible life-threatening complication of transsphenoidal surgery. We present a case of a meningioma that during resection had a serious complication with laceration of the internal carotid artery (ICA). These patients rarely undergo endovascular treatment, with indications mainly due to the development of pseudoaneurysms or penetrating trauma. However,...
