Description
Summary:A 64-year-old male patient was admitted to Clinic for supra-aortic branches evaluation and multi-detector computerized tomography (MDCT) angiography. Five years earlier he had stroke with right-sided weakness while nineteen years ago he was operated for laryngeal cancer followed by radiation therapy. Ultrasound of carotid arteries revealed left ICA occlusion and right ICA aneurysm 18 mm in diameter with parietal thrombosis. MDCT angiography confirmed these findings with fusiform aneurysm of right ICA. Aneurysm resection was performed and Dacron tubular graft 6mm placed between common and internal carotid artery. Postoperative course was uneventful, color duplex showed regular findings and graft patency. nema
