AI Article Synopsis
- Postendarterectomy carotid pseudoaneurysms are rare and can be treated with endovascular methods, which are less invasive and have minimized complication risks.
- The challenge arises when the patient has a highly angulated aortic arch (type III), making it difficult to navigate endovascular devices.
- This case demonstrates successful treatment of a carotid pseudoaneurysm using transcervical access to place an endograft directly into the carotid artery.
Article Abstract
Postendarterectomy carotid pseudoaneurysms are infrequent. The endovascular treatment is less invasive, with a minor risk of complications. However, the presence of a highly angulated aortic arch (type III) is a challenge, since the navigation of endovascular devices is not favorable. Through transcervical access, it is possible to deliver the devices directly into the carotid artery. We herein present a case of a postendarterectomy carotid pseudoaneurysm in a patient with type III aortic arch that was successfully treated with transcervical endograft exclusion.
