Extracranial internal carotid artery aneurysms
The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon
|June 1, 1986
Abstract:
Two cases of extracranial internal carotid artery aneurysms are presented. In each case the cranial end of the aneurysm was in contact with the base of the skull. Ligation of the internal carotid artery was performed in the first case. Temporary occlusion of the distal internal carotid artery by means of a Fogarty catheter allowed resection with end-to-end anastomosis in the second case.
