Management of Extracranial Carotid Artery Aneurysm

Abstract: This review summarizes the largest available series in the literature on ECAA management. The number of ECAAs reported in current literature is scarce. The early and long-term outcome of invasive treatment in ECAA is favorable; however, cranial nerve damage after surgery occurs frequently. Unfortunately, due to limitations in reporting of results and confounding by indication in the available literature, it was not possible to determine the optimal treatment strategy. There is a need for a multicenter internat… Show more

“…The natural course of extracranial carotid arttery aneurysm is still hardly understood. Since knowledge of the natural course is required to give benefit of any type of treatment, thus far no treatment guideline or expert consensus for the management of extracranial carotid artery aneurysm has been developed [8] . The main goal in the management of extracranial carotid arttery aneurysm is to prevent thrombo-embolic complications of the aneurysm.…”

“…Due to limitations in the literature consisting mostly of case reports and small case series, data on the incidence is lacking 1,2 . The most common used definition is a dilation of the carotid artery greater than 150% of the diameter of the normal (uninvolved) internal carotid artery (ICA) or common carotid artery (CCA).…”

“…For ECAA due to a traumatic etiology, endovascular stenting has been advocated in the past decade. Although success rates of endovascular therapy are high, no long-term follow-up is yet available 2,6 . Aneurysms complicating dissection are pseudoaneurysms and the far majority of these do not increase in size and are not associated with any cerebrovascular symptoms and can therefore be managed conservatively 7 .…”
