AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
HIV and tuberculosis infections are known to be associated with vasculopathy including occlusive disease and aneurysm formation. We report a case of 43-year-old male with miliary and central nervous system (CNS) tuberculosis; recently, diagnosed as HIV seropositive, on antiretroviral and antitubercular treatment presenting with painful neck swelling. He was found to have common carotid artery (CCA) pseudoaneurysm that was managed by endovascular stent grafting. HIV vasculopathy-related CCA pseudoaneurysm is a potentially life-threatening rare entity. Treatment of an immunocompromised patient by endovascular approach minimizes hospital stay and avoids wound-related complications. To the best of our knowledge, there has been no case report describing endovascular treatment of CCA pseudoaneurysm in an HIV-positive patient with low CD4 count and coexistent disseminated tuberculosis.

Interdisciplinary Successful Revascularization of Traumatic Occlusion of the Right Common Carotid Artery.

Blunt carotid artery injury (BCI) poses a rare yet severe threat following vascular trauma, often leading to significant morbidity and mortality. We present a case of a 33-year-old male who suffered complete thrombotic occlusion of the right common carotid artery (CCA) following a workplace accident. Clinical evaluation revealed profound neurological deficits, prompting multidisciplinary surgical intervention guided by the Denver criteria (Grade I - disruption inside the vessel that results in a narrowing of the lumen by less than 25%; Grade II - dissection or intramural hematoma causing greater than 25% stenosis; Grade III - comprises pseudoaneurysm formation; Grade IV - causes total vessel occlusion; Grade V - describes vessel transection with extravasation).

Aim: We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of graft stent implantation in the endovascular treatment of vascular injuries in the craniocervical area.
Materials And Methods: This study was carried out through the retrospective screening of eight (two females and six males) patients' records. Patients who used graft stents as an endovascular method were included in the study.

Department of Vascular Surgery, Middlemore Hospital, Auckland University, 100 Hospital Road, Auckland, New Zealand.
Background: Air rifle injuries can cause significant vascular injuries. This air rifle injury has resulted in a penetrating neck trauma traversing the common carotid artery. There is debate around the need for radiological investigation, the most appropriate investigational modality, and the need for surgical exploration versus a conservative approach.

Common carotid artery (CCA) pseudoaneurysm is a rare clinical disorder. CCA pseudoaneurysm that occurs with a carotid-esophageal fistula and causes massive upper gastrointestinal bleeding is especially uncommon but can be life-threatening. Accurate diagnosis and prompt managements are essential to save lives.

Pseudoaneurysm of the common carotid artery (CCA) is exceptionally unstable and unpredictable; it mandates quick medical attention in order to circumvent neurologic sequelae or hemorrhage. Unanticipated rupture is extremely lethal and a potential provocation for the anesthesia caregiver. It is an arduous challenge for an anesthetist to establish emergency airway when a huge bleeding pseudoaneurysm is compressing and deviating the trachea, securing invasive lines in collapsing vessels, volume and vasopressor resuscitation in deteriorating hemodynamics in order to maintain cerebral perfusion without compromising other vital organs, arranging huge amount of blood and blood products in a short span of time, and transferring an exsanguinating patient for the rapid institution of cardiopulmonary bypass.
