Summary

Surgical repair of extracranial carotid aneurysms is safe and effective, with low complication rates. Early surgical intervention is recommended to prevent neurological events like stroke.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Cerebrovascular Diseases
  • Aneurysm Treatment

Background:

  • Extracranial carotid aneurysms are rare but pose risks of TIA and stroke.
  • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for timely repair and complication prevention.
  • Early surgical intervention minimizes risks and improves outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of surgical treatment for extracranial carotid aneurysms.
  • To analyze outcomes based on aneurysm etiology: atherosclerotic, dysplastic, and pseudoaneurysms.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 21 extracranial carotid aneurysm repairs from 1982-1995.
  • Classification of aneurysms into atherosclerotic (10), dysplastic (6), and pseudoaneurysms (5).
  • Follow-up using echo color Doppler for operated vessels.

Main Results:

  • Overall mortality and major morbidity rate was 4.7% (one perioperative stroke).
  • No stenosis or dilatation observed in operated vessels during a mean 24-month follow-up.
  • One asymptomatic internal carotid artery occlusion noted 3 months post-surgery in the pseudoaneurysm group.

Conclusions:

  • Surgical treatment of extracranial carotid aneurysms yields satisfactory results.
  • Low incidence of perioperative complications supports early and extensive surgical therapy.
  • Prompt surgical intervention is justified for managing these critical lesions.
