Article Synopsis
- Anastomotic pseudoaneurysms of interposition vein grafts are rare but serious complications in vascular surgery, particularly concerning the carotid arteries, requiring urgent intervention to avoid critical issues like rupture and thromboembolism.
- A case report details a 49-year-old male who developed a false aneurysm after a carotid surgery complication and successfully underwent open surgical repair involving the removal of the affected graft and reconstruction using a vein graft from the subclavian artery.
- The conclusion emphasizes that while endovascular techniques exist, open surgical repair remains the standard treatment for these pseudoaneurysms due to its ability to effectively address infection and ensure better long-term outcomes, suggesting that further research should continue to refine surgical strategies.
Background: This report presents the management of patient with extracranial internal carotid artery pseudoaneurysm due to giant cell arteritis.
Case Presentation: Left internal carotid artery pseudoaneurysm was diagnosed in a 57-year-old Ukrainian woman, which became a direct indication for surgical treatment involving aneurysm resection and internal carotid artery reimplantation. The used reconstruction technique with oblique cutting of internal carotid artery, aneurysm resection, ellipse-form anastomosis formation, and distal intima fixation prevents the dissection, restenosis, and aneurysm of anastomosis in the long-term postoperative period.
is a widespread opportunistic pathogen that rarely causes disease in human. It caused graft infection in our case. It is important to differentiate it from another water-transmitted pathogens.

The aim: To study the dynamics of blood pressure (BP) in patients of different age groups with hypertension and diabetes type II before and after carotid endarterectomy.
Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: 90 patients with hypertension and diabetes type II were selected for CE.
