Vasc Endovascular Surg. 2008 Jun-Jul;42(3):276-8. doi: 10.1177/1538574407312650. Epub 2008 Jan 14.

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.
