Rupture of the internal carotid artery (ICA) during transsphenoidal surgery is a rare but potentially lethal complication. Direct surgical repair of the ICA may be difficult and time-consuming in an acute setting. Urgent endovascular treatments with vascular plug or stent-graft have been the feasible options to date. We desrcibe two cases of iatrogenic rupture of ICA during transsphenoidal surgery. In the first case we occluded the ICA with a vascular plug at the site of tear where cross circulation was adequate. In the second case we had to preserve the ICA with stent-graft since there was no adequate cross circulation. These two strategies are discussed below.
经蝶窦手术期间颈内动脉(ICA)破裂是一种罕见但可能致命的并发症。在急性情况下,直接对ICA进行手术修复可能困难且耗时。迄今为止,使用血管栓塞物或覆膜支架进行紧急血管内治疗一直是可行的选择。我们描述了两例经蝶窦手术期间ICA医源性破裂的病例。在第一例中,我们在撕裂部位用血管栓塞物闭塞了ICA,此处侧支循环充足。在第二例中,由于没有足够的侧支循环,我们不得不使用覆膜支架保留ICA。以下将讨论这两种策略。
