A rare case of spontaneous common carotid artery dissection after surgery was successfully treated with vein graft repair. This surgical approach is recommended for symptomatic dissections and asymptomatic cases with aneurysmal changes.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Cerebrovascular Disease
  • Arterial Dissection

Background:

  • Spontaneous common carotid artery dissection (SCCAD) is rare, especially following carotid endarterectomy.
  • Management options for SCCAD remain debated, particularly in the context of prior interventions.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with symptomatic SCCAD months after an ipsilateral carotid endarterectomy.
  • The dissection involved cystic medial degeneration of the common carotid artery.

Findings:

  • Successful surgical management was achieved through resection and saphenous vein interposition grafting.
  • Postoperative duplex scans confirmed normal carotid artery and graft patency.

Implications:

  • Surgical intervention for symptomatic SCCAD, even post-endarterectomy, can be safe and effective.
  • This approach is recommended for symptomatic patients and asymptomatic cases with aneurysmal changes, offering a viable treatment strategy.
