BACKGROUNDCervical arterial tortuosity is not uncommon in patients with spontaneous carotid artery dissections (CADs), but the tortuosity often precludes endovascular stent reconstruction. The authors report 2 cases of emergency recanalization of a carotid tonsillar loop dissection using a Pipeline embolization device (PED).OBSERVATIONSTwo patients presented with symptomatic CAD involving tonsillar looping of the cervical internal carotid artery (ICA). Although the tonsillar loop prevented navigation of the carotid and peripheral stent delivery system, a PED was easily navigated and successfully deployed, resulting in successful recanalization of a looped ICA.LESSONSEmergency recanalization of a cervical CAD using a PED is a feasible alternative for treating a cervical CAD associated with tonsillar loops.

The aim of this study is to explore the possibility of endovascular treatment of internal carotid artery pseudoaneurysm (PSA). These lesions are difficult to treat with a surgical approach, especially if they are located extracranially and close to the skull base. Endovascular stent placement in symptomatic and unstable extracranial internal carotid PSA was found to be safe and effective. Depending on hemodynamic aspects, complete local exclusion of aneurysmal formation is achieved in few months. We present three patients with carotid dissection and PSA formation that have been successfully treated by stent placement.
