title: Endovascular treatment of a symptomatic carotid artery aneurysm with a stent graft.
abstract: Endovascular methods have become more widespread and offer an alternative to surgery, which is often difficult in case of a hostile neck resulting from radiotherapy. Carotid pseudoaneurysm after laryngectomy is a very uncommon complication. We report a case of symptomatic carotid artery pseudoaneurysm treated using a stent graft.
