We describe the case of a 61-year-old patient with significant medical co-morbidities and tortuous vascular anatomy presenting with a large middle cerebral artery aneurysm. To avoid the risks of general anesthesia and circumvent a majority of the tortuous vessels, the aneurysm was accessed by direct open exposure of the common carotid artery under conscious sedation and local anesthesia. We were able to achieve complete endovascular occlusion of the aneurysm and the patient tolerated the procedure well with no intra- or post-operative complications. Use of conscious sedation is possible and safe for direct open common carotid artery access in patients with significant vascular tortuosity that makes the standard trans-femoral approach difficult or impossible.

According to the theories of Rathke, which are universally accepted at the present day, the subclavian artery is supposed to take its origin from the aortic root or fourth embryonic branchial arterial arch. In the adult bird the subclavian on each side is found springing from, the extremity of an innominate artery along with the common carotid. It is presumed that the right subclavian has been, by a shortening of the aortic arch, carried forwards until it meets and fuses with the base of the common carotid artery; and the left subclavian is regarded as representing by its basal portion the fourth left arch or left primitive aorta.

AbstractPseudoaneurysms of the extracranial carotid arteries are rarely seen following irradiation for cancers of the head and neck. We present a patient with a pseudoaneurysm of the common carotid artery following a radical neck dissection and irradiation for thyroid carcinoma 20 years earlier. Following oesophagoscopical examination, a pseudoaneurysm of the right common carotid artery ruptured into the piriform sinus. The common carotid artery was embolized with multiple coils and the bleeding was halted. The relationship between the carotid artery aneurysm and irradiation, and the treatment of carotid artery aneurysm, is discussed.
