Postendarterectomy common carotid artery pseudoaneurysm.
Pseudoaneurysm (PSA) formation is an uncommon complication in carotid surgery. PSA of the carotid artery requires surgical or endovascular treatment to prevent PSA thrombosis, embolization from the thrombotic material within the PSA, hemorrhage after rupture, or compression on the adjacent structures. We present a case of a symptomatic common carotid PSA that occurred 14 months after routinely performed eversion carotid endarterectomy.
