Abstract: | Aneurysmal dilatations occur at any level of carotid dissection, but typically at the distal subcranial segment. These aneurysms may grow, compress cervical structures, rupture or constitute a potential source of thrombo-embolic complications. When conservative and/or medical treatment failed or is contraindicated, a more aggressive therapy, such as endovascular stenting should be considered. We report the successful use endovascular stenting for the treatment of post-traumatic dissecting aneurysms of the extracranial internal carotid artery and discuss the potential of different stents types. |
