The increasing risk of perioperative stroke after coronary artery bypass grafting can in part be attributed to the increased incidence of carotid stenosis with increasing patient age. The efficacy of carotid endarterectomy has been demonstrated for both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients. Combined operations yield acceptable mortality and stroke risks, provide good freedom from late events, and cost less than staged operations.
BACKGROUND: Aneurysms involving the cervical portion of the internal carotid artery (ICA) frequently result from prior trauma or dissection. CASE DESCRIPTIONS: Two patients are reported with cervical internal carotid artery aneurysms. In both cases, disease involving the contralateral ICA precluded safe treatment of the aneurysms by ICA occlusion. Endovascular stents placed across the diseased portion of the artery resulted in thrombosis of the aneurysm with preservation of the parent artery. CONCLUSION: Endovascular stent placement should be considered for treatment of aneurysms involving the cervical ICA when preservation of the parent vessel is necessary.
