Abstract EN
Common carotid artery (CCA) pseudoaneurysms are rare and potentially lethal, and adequate treatment is warranted in order to prevent rupture or neurologic sequelae.
The causes of CCA pseudoaneurysm include blunt or penetrating trauma, infection, and vasculitis, as well as iatrogenic and unknown causes.
Previously, surgery was the standard treatment for pseudoaneurysm.
However, endovascular surgical approaches such as stent graft or coiling have become effective alternatives with minimal morbidity and high success rates.
Here, we report two cases of CCA pseudoaneurysms that were successfully treated by stent graft and review the current literature.
