Abstract EN
Carotid artery injuries with pseudoaneurysm are uncommon but associated with central neurologic dysfunction.
We present a case of posttraumatic pseudoaneurysm of the right common carotid artery treated by implantation of a covered stent.
A 44-year-old woman with multiple injuries after fall from height presents a small dissection flap of the right common carotid artery (RCCA) on the initial computed tomography angiography (CTA).
Fifteen days later a 10 mm pseudoaneurysm is observed on control CTA.
We decided endovascular treatment.
Through right femoral access with a long introducer sheath placed in the innominate artery, we implanted a covered stent Advanta V12 9×38 mm in the RCCA.
The patient was discharged from the hospital with antiplatelet therapy without any neurological dysfunction and complete exclusion of the pseudoaneurysm.
Use of covered stents has emerged as a safe and effective alternative to surgical repair of carotid injuries.
