Giant Pseudoaneurysm

Treating carotid blowout syndrome following rupture of giant pseudoaneurysms is difficult because the destroyed parent artery precludes conventional treatment. We present a patient with a ruptured giant pseudoaneurysm that we occluded using a modified internal trapping technique with low-concentration N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (NBCA) and a minimum number of coils. An 80-year-old man with a history of chemoradiation therapy for oropharyngeal cancer presented with several episodes of active bleeding from the subsequent tracheostomy site. Radiological examination revealed a giant right common carotid artery (CCA) pseudoaneurysm. Endovascular internal trapping was performed using both NBCA and coils under proximal flow control. We slowly injected 9 ml of low-concentration NBCA, which subsequently filled the entire pseudoaneurysm. We then injected an additional 2 ml of NBCA into the proximal CCA to achieve complete obliteration. No re-bleeding was observed during the 6-month follow-up. Endovascular internal trapping using low-concentration NBCA was feasible to treat a giant CCA pseudoaneurysm. The injected low-concentration NBCA filled the entire pseudoaneurysm without the risk of catheter entrapment.

AbstractObjective:To report an unusual case of pseudoaneurysm formation following ingestion of a thin wire.Method:Case report, including management, and review of the world literature concerning pseudoaneurysm and its management.Results:A 15-year-old boy presented as an emergency with a two-week history of painful swallowing, and a one-week history of a progressively enlarging, right-sided swelling of the lower neck. A foreign body had been ingested two weeks previously. Radiological investigation showed a pseudoaneurysm of the right common carotid artery. The neck was explored, the foreign body removed and the common carotid artery repaired. The patient was discharged on the 10th post-operative day without neurovascular complication.Conclusion:This is an unusual presentation of pseudoaneurysm of the common carotid artery following accidental ingestion of a foreign body, reported for its rarity and management.

Aneurysm of the extracranial carotid artery is a rare disease, mycotic pseudoaneurysms being even less common. They are a life-threatening complication of systemic infection and atherosclerosis. Immunocompromised people, including patients with HIV, uncontrolled diabetes melltus, those on immunosuppressants like high-dose steroids, and chemotherapy, are at a higher risk for development of mycotic pseudoaneurysms. Due to the high risk of potential complications like rupture and thromboembolic events, mycotic aneurysms always require surgical management. Early detection followed by restoration of blood flow is critical to minimize a fatal outcome. Here we report the case of a 52-year-old man with a past history of hypertension and dyslipidemia who presented with a pulsatile painful neck swelling. On evaluation, the patient was diagnosed to have Salmonella typhi bacteremia, HIV infection, and a mycotic aneurysm of the left common carotid artery.

The case of a 24-year-old man with a rupture of the left common carotid artery and history of intravenous drug abuse is presented. Due to absence of a suitable autologous vein segment the carotid bulb was repaired with a human allograft patch.
