Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Cerebrovascular Disease
  • Surgical Outcomes

Background:

  • Extracranial carotid artery aneurysms are rare but pose significant risks of neurological complications.
  • Optimal management strategies for these aneurysms require careful consideration of surgical techniques and patient-specific factors.

Observation:

  • This study reviewed fourteen cases of extracranial carotid artery aneurysms treated between 1990 and 1994.
  • Various operative techniques were employed, including aneurysmectomy with direct anastomosis, vein grafts, prosthetic grafts, exclusion and bypass, exclusion alone, and ligation.
  • Intra-operative carotid artery shunting was minimally utilized due to confirmed satisfactory cerebral cross-circulation.

Findings:

  • The study reported no mortality among the fourteen surgically treated patients.

  • Two patients experienced transient neurological deficits post-operatively, indicating a low morbidity rate.
  • Surgical reconstruction of arterial continuity was achieved in multiple ways, with varying success based on local conditions.

    • Implications:

    • Operative management of extracranial carotid artery aneurysms is associated with minimal morbidity and no mortality.
    • Surgical intervention is the treatment of choice to prevent potentially devastating neurological sequelae.
    • These findings support the efficacy of surgical repair in managing extracranial carotid artery aneurysms.
