Treatment of a high large extracranial carotid artery pseudoaneurysm from trauma using a Viabahn graft.

Blunt cerebrovascular injury has received much attention over the recent years; however, there is still considerable variability in terms of adequate criteria and treatment strategies. A case report was conducted to discuss the available literature in this disease process relative to the current practices at a level 1 urban trauma center. Screening and treatment methods were discussed. A patient with a high cervical extracranial pseudoaneurysm of the internal carotid artery was treated successfully with endovascular techniques without future neurologic sequalae.
