Arteriovenous Fistulas

Acquired arteriovenous fistulas involving the carotid artery are most frequently the result of trauma and iatrogenic causes such as central venous catheterisation. Occasionally, they may develop spontaneously due to erosion of an aneurysm into an adjacent vein. We report a rare case of an acquired carotid-jugular fistula secondary to a pseudoaneurysm that occurred four months following carotid endarterectomy

Ica Stenosis

This report aims to present a rare case of a common carotid artery (CCA) pseudoaneurysm with a concomitant internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis that were treated with a hybrid technique. This strategy included the retrograde placement of a CCA covered stent under ICA clamping followed by standardized carotid endarterectomy. The technique will be discussed and compared with other possible treatments.

Technical Factors

The technical factors and surgical methods employed in carotid endarterectomy are controversial. In particular, whether or not to use an indwelling arterial shunt during carotid endarterectomy remains a source of conflict. We describe a rare case in which uncomplicated carotid endarterectomy was followed by distal internal carotid artery dissection and suggest that this devastating complication was due to intimal damage produced by the use of an indwelling arterial shunt.

Carotid Artery Endarterectomy

Development of severe hyponatremia after carotid endarterectomy procedure is rare. Several pathophysiological mechanisms related to the carotid endarterectomy procedure may infer an increased risk of developing this complication in specific populations.

Cranial Nerve Injury

Background: Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is a conventional surgical technique to prevent ischemic stroke and the effectiveness for advanced lesions is established in many large studies. The vagus nerve is one of the cranial nerves that we usually encounter during CEA manipulation, which is identified as located posterior to the vessels in a position posterolateral to the carotid artery and posteromedial to the internal jugular vein. Case Description: We experienced an extremely rare case of the vagus nerve passing anterior to the internal carotid artery during CEA. Conclusion: We should be careful not to accidentally cut off because the variation of the vagus nerve can be mistaken for an ansa cervicalis. A delicate and complete dissection to understand the variation of the vagus nerve is crucial to minimize the risk of cranial nerve injury during CEA.
