Carotid ligation for carotid aneurysms.

G Blaauw, R Braakman

    Clinical Neurology and Neurosurgery
    |January 1, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary

    Common carotid artery ligation effectively treats ruptured carotid aneurysms, with delayed surgery reducing risks of cerebral ischemia. This method is valuable for managing subarachnoid hemorrhage.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Vascular Surgery
    • Neurology

    Background:

    • Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) from ruptured carotid aneurysms presents significant risks.
    • Traditional treatments for such aneurysms carry potential complications.

    Observation:

    • Thirty patients with SAH due to ruptured carotid aneurysms underwent common carotid artery ligation.
    • Post-operative complications included mortality (2/30) and persistent hemisphere deficit (2/30).
    • Cerebral ischemia occurred in 8/10 patients operated within 10 days of bleeding.

    Findings:

    • Delayed ligation, performed at the end of the second week post-hemorrhage, aims to mitigate early ischemic complications.
    • No recurrent hemorrhages were observed during a 1-8 year follow-up period.
    • Common carotid ligation, especially with monitoring of end pressure, cerebral blood flow, and EEG, is effective.

    Implications:

    • Optimizing the timing of common carotid ligation is crucial for patient outcomes.
    • This surgical approach offers a viable treatment for ruptured intracranial carotid aneurysms.
    • Further research should focus on refining surgical timing and monitoring techniques to minimize neurological deficits.
