Overlapped Stenting for Treatment of an Extracranial Carotid Artery Aneurysm
نویسندگان
چکیده
Extracranial carotid artery aneurysms (ECAAs) are rare, and their treatment is very difficult and challenging. The case of a 59-year-old woman who presented with a pulsatile mass on the left side of her neck, was diagnosed with a left-sided giant thrombosed common carotid artery aneurysm, and underwent definitive treatment by overlapped stenting, is presented. Overlapped stenting is a safe and an effective treatment procedure for ECAA. A covered stent would theoretically be reasonable and immediately effective, but its long-term patency remains unknown. Therefore, in patients lacking ischemic tolerance and those not requiring urgent intervention, overlapped stenting using uncovered stents is preferable.

A trial for an evaluation of perianeurysmal arterial pressure change during carotid artery stenting in patients with concomitant severe extracranial carotid artery stenosis and ipsilateral intracranial aneurysm.
Concomitant occurrence of severe extracranial large vessel stenosis and an ipsilateral intracranial aneurysm is often detected incidentally, but the optimal therapeutic strategy is not clear. Several reports have investigated whether simultaneous carotid artery stenting and coil embolization, or multi-stage therapy is better. These treatment strategies are still controversial because simultaneo...
متن کاملGradual Growth of Spontaneous Dissecting Aneurysm of the Extracranial Internal Carotid Artery After Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage.
Spontaneous dissecting aneurysm of the extracranial internal carotid artery is uncommon, and simultaneous onset of multiple dissecting aneurysms is rare in patients without congenital or traumatic risk factors. A few reports suggest that extracranial internal carotid artery dissecting aneurysms can grow after SAH due to another intracranial dissecting aneurysm. The present report describes two ...
متن کاملEndovascular repair of symptomatic carotid artery aneurysm with covered stent: A case report and literature review
OBJECTIVES Extracranial carotid artery true aneurysm is extremely uncommon, and definite treatment has traditionally involved open surgical repair. Although successful management of the internal carotid artery aneurysms using endovascular stenting and embolization has recently been reported, only a limited number of cases have been reported. METHODS We present a case of symptomatic carotid tr...

OBJECTIVE In this case report we describe a successful interdisciplinary approach (including flow redirection and endovascular occlusion) applied to a patient with a continuously growing extracranial giant aneurysm of the right internal carotid artery (ICA) due to known Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. CASE PRESENTATION A 42-year-old man with a continuously growing extracranial giant aneurysm of the r...
متن کاملResponse to letter regarding article, "Residual high-grade stenosis after recanalization of extracranial carotid occlusion in acute ischemic stroke".
We appreciate the interest of Zhou et al in our recently published article. They refer to an important issue about the acute treatment of an extracranial occlusion of the internal carotid artery (ICA) in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Our study was aimed at identifying a high-grade extracranial ICA stenosis after the acute phase in patients in whom an occluded extracranial ICA was found w...
