Vascular, 2004
We present the treatment of 17 extracranial carotid artery aneurysms in 16 patients (1 patient had bilateral lesions). There were 15 (93.75%) male patients and 1 (6.25%) female patient, with an average age of 64.8 years. Two (11.8%) aneurysms involved the common carotid artery and 15 (88.2%) the internal carotid artery. Two (11.8%) aneurysms presented

Atherosclerotic plaque primarily involves the carotid bifurcation. Moderate plaque buildup frequently occurs in the common carotid but it rarely extends more than 3–4 cm into the internal carotid. Symptoms are rare due to flow reduction. This is the only vascular lesion where embolization is the primary pathologic entity.

Carotid Artery Revascularization
Topics in Stroke Rehabilitation, 2003Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the United States, and up to one third of patients have a stroke secondary to carotid occlusive disease. Surgical management has firmly established itself as an important modality in treating this disease. Several prospective randomized trials have defined the patients that would have the most benefit from ...

The external carotid artery (ECA) arises from the common carotid bifurcation at the C4 vertebral level. A more proximal or distal origin can occur. Variants of the level of the carotid bifurcation are described in Chap. 2. These variants also involve indirectly the origin of the ECA. The ECA may originate directly from the aortic arch.

The American Journal of Surgery, 1982
One-hundred twenty-nine patients with carotid artery injuries were analyzed to compare the results of revascularization with those of ligation or occlusion. In patients who present with central neurologic deficit short of coma (Grades 1 to 4), revascularization is clearly the operative method of choice.

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1976
To the Editor.— The article by Drs Fields and Lemak (235:2734, 1976) raises a number of concerns regarding carotid artery occlusion. First, we are concerned that many physicians may now feel from their interpretation that angiography and surgery play no role in the evaluation and treatment of the symptomatic patient with an occluded carotid artery ...

The Laryngoscope, 1973
AbstractA carotid artery rupture should never occur. The figures presented strongly indicate that elective ligation of an impending rupture is the procedure of choice; however, this should seldom be necessary if nutritional deficiencies have been corrected; if pre‐operative radiation has been properly planned and timed, and if safe incisions are ...

Aneurysms of the Carotid Artery
Seminars in Vascular Surgery, 2005Carotid artery aneurysms are an uncommon but important problem. The available data suggests that, untreated, these aneurysms lead to neurologic symptoms from embolization. Pseudoaneurysms of the carotid artery result from injury or may be the long-term sequelae of a spontaneous carotid dissection.

ANEURYSMS OF THE CAROTID ARTERIES
Australian and New Zealand Journal of Surgery, 1983Twenty‐one patients with 22 carotid aneurysms have been managed between 1960 and 1982. The aneurysms were congenital (3), atherosclerotic (8), false aneurysms after previous carotid operation (10) and mycotic (1). Carotid ligation was performed on four patients, one of whom suffered a stroke and died.

Coiling of the Carotid Arteries
Southern Medical Journal, 1987We have presented a case of extensive coiling of both common carotid arteries in which surgical reconstruction on the most severely affected side relieved symptoms of cerebrovascular insufficiency. The underlying lesion is believed to be congenital, and surgical correction is recommended in symptomatic patients.
