[Combined surgical treatment for carotid paraganglioma]

The paper gives a clinical example of embolization of the vascular network of carotid paraganglioma with subsequent en-block tumor removal with bifurcation of the common carotid artery and with recovery of great blood flow along the internal carotid artery through alloprosthesis of the latter. The positive effects of a combination of endovascular embolization of the vascular network of the tumor with its subsequent removal are noted. Indications for endovascular embolization and its procedure, intraoperative evaluation of cerebral collateral circulation are discussed. Those for carotid repair during en-block removal of carotid paraganglioma with bifurcation of the common carotid artery are considered.
