J Cerebrovasc Endovasc Neurosurg. 2023 Jun;25(2):203-207. doi: 10.7461/jcen.2022.E2022.07.003. Epub 2022 Oct 21.

Abstract

A giant thrombosed extracranial internal carotid artery aneurysm (ECCA) is extremely rare and its treatment is challenging. Despite the advance of endovascular technique, open surgery is still considered a first-line treatment in giant thrombosed ECCA. We describe a case of giant thrombosed ECCA which was successfully treated by aneurysmectomy and graft interposition with the technical details.
