The management of extracranial carotid or vertebral artery pseudoaneurysms is controversial. Although some of these lesions resolve spontaneously, many clinicians opt to treat them with trapping procedures that result in vessel sacrifice. We describe two cases in which an intravascular stent was used to obliterate an aneurysm of the extracranial vertebral artery and the internal carotid artery, respectively, while maintaining the patency of the parent vessel. The technique, which has been successful in experimental animal models, shows promise for application in humans.
颅外颈动脉或椎动脉假性动脉瘤的治疗存在争议。尽管其中一些病变可自发消退，但许多临床医生选择采用导致血管牺牲的血管结扎术来治疗。我们描述了两例分别使用血管内支架闭塞颅外椎动脉和颈内动脉动脉瘤，同时保持母血管通畅的病例。该技术在实验动物模型中已获成功，显示出在人类应用中的前景。
