Treatment of extracranial internal carotid artery aneurysm with resection and external carotid artery bypass

J Cardiovasc Surg (Torino). 1998 Dec;39(6):769-71.

Abstract

The authors report a case of extracranial internal carotid artery aneurysm with resection of aneurysm and bridging a defect by using the external carotid artery after ligation of its distal end. This technique proposes to prevent neointimal hyperplasia and anastomotic stenosis.
