Endovascular Treatment of Extracranial Internal Carotid Artery Aneurysms

Journal Title: Postępy Nauk Medycznych - Year 2012, Vol 25, Issue 5

Abstract

&lt;b&gt;Introduction.&lt;/b&gt; The purpose of this article is to present endovascular treatment options for extradural ICA aneurysms and evaluate their usefulness based on treatment success rate and complications.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Materials and methods.&lt;/b&gt; We have treated 52 patients with extradural aneurysms, both true and false aneurysms, of the internal carotid artery (ICA) since 1999. Our techniques involved: stenting with bare and covered stents, primary coiling, remodeling with stent or balloon, ICA trapping and parental artery occlusion. Each procedure was performed after successful Balloon Test Occlusion (BTO).&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Results. &lt;/b&gt;Endovascular treatment was successful in all cases. Two patients had a TIA one month after primary coiling and one patient had a major stroke after parental artery occlusion.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Conclusions.&lt;/b&gt; Our experience with extradural carotid aneurysms management shows that endovascular treatment of those lesions is both safe and efficient and should be considered a primary treatment option. However, good results depend heavily on proper choice of endovascular equipment and technique.
