Abstract:
To assess the principles of perioperative management and prevention and treatment of postoperative complications of extracranial carotid artery aneurysm(ECAA),15 patients with ECAA received surgical treatment between 1988 and 2000.Among them,11 patients underwent aneurysmectomy with artery reconstruction,3 had resection of aneurysm and ligation of external carotid artery, and the other patient had aneurysmorrhaphy. No postoperative deaths or severe complications occurred except one patient with Horner's syndrome.Satisfactory results were achieved in 7 out of 8 patients within a 6 month to 7 year follow up period. The results showed that aneurysmectomy with artery reconstruction is a best operative procedure for extracranial carotid artery aneurysm. In order to prevent severe complications,such as brain ischemia and injury of cranial nerves, intensive perioperative management must be emphasized.
