Deskripsi
We present the novel application of transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR) in two high-risk patients with high-grade internal artery stenosis and concomitant atherosclerotic extracranial carotid artery aneurysms (ECAAs). ECAAs account forĀ <1% of arterial aneurysms and are usually clinically silent at presentation. Historically, the treatment of ECAAs has been via open reconstruction or stent grafting. TCAR is an effective alternative for carotid revascularization in high-risk patients with high-grade carotid stenosis, but has not been widely used for aneurysmal management. We report two cases to describe our management of concomitant carotid stenoses and ECCA with TCAR.
