Summary

This study on carotid artery aneurysms in 18 patients found that surgical repair led to good long-term outcomes, with no recurrence of carotid-related issues during follow-up.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Neurology
  • Cardiology

Background:

  • Carotid artery aneurysms are rare but can lead to serious neurological complications.
  • Arteriosclerosis is a common cause of these aneurysms.
  • Patient presentation varies from asymptomatic to stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a case series of patients with carotid artery aneurysms.
  • To evaluate the surgical outcomes and long-term results of carotid artery aneurysm repair.
  • To assess the incidence of neurological complications and patency rates post-surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 18 patients with carotid artery aneurysms.
  • Surgical intervention with or without shunt placement.

  • Follow-up evaluation using duplex scanning and angiography.

    • Main Results:

    • The mean patient age was 57.9 years.
    • Most patients were asymptomatic or presented with a pulsating neck mass.
    • Postoperative complications included hemiparesis and one case of unconsciousness; three patients died (two neurologically, one from myocardial infarction).
    • During a mean follow-up of 78.6 months, no carotid-related diseases were observed.
    • Eight patients showed patent carotid arteries and remained neurologically asymptomatic.

    Conclusions:

    • Surgical management of carotid artery aneurysms can achieve favorable long-term results with good patency rates.
    • While immediate postoperative complications can occur, long-term outcomes are generally positive.
    • Carotid artery aneurysms require careful management due to potential neurological risks.
