- Postendarterectomy carotid pseudoaneurysms are rare and can be treated with endovascular methods, which are less invasive and have minimized complication risks.

- This case demonstrates successful treatment of a carotid pseudoaneurysm using transcervical access to place an endograft directly into the carotid artery.
