Saccular aneurysm of the extracranial internal carotid artery is rare. We present a 56-year-old lady presented with a progressively enlarging pulsatile swelling over the right neck, and the right internal carotid artery aneurysm was successfully treated with trans-carotid endovascular stenting of right common to right carotid artery using a self-expanding nitinol base ePTFE covered stent (COVERA Plus™ stent, Bard, Tempe, USA). The external carotid artery was prophylactically embolised to prevent back bleeding.

Article Synopsis
- COVID-19 can lead to complications like venous thromboembolism (VTE), which includes deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), contributing to significant health risks and mortality.
- A comprehensive literature review identified 68 relevant studies, highlighting that severe COVID-19 patients have a VTE incidence of 6-26%, while arterial thromboembolism is less common.
- Current guidelines recommend the use of low molecular weight heparin for VTE prevention and treatment, but more research is needed to determine the optimal prophylactic dosage due to varying risks of bleeding and thrombosis.
