Objectives: Carotid artery aneurysms, although rare, are increasing in frequency due to their association with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease. Our institution serves a population with a high HIV prevalence and we wished to document our growing experience with this aneurysmal pathology in a setting of an ever-increasing burden of HIV disease.
Methods: Data on all patients managed at Inkosi Albert Luthuli Central Hospital in Durban, South Africa, from July 2003 to December 2009 with HIV carotid aneurysms were extracted from a prospective vascular database and their case records were examined.
