Abstract

SOSA-MARTINEZ, María del Rosario; BALDERRAMA-BANARES, Jorge L.; BROC-HARO, Guy G.  and  VALDES-GARCIA, Javier. Carotid cavum aneurysm treated with Solitaire™ AB stent. Case report. Cir. cir. [online]. 2020, vol.88, n.5, pp.643-646.  Epub Nov 08, 2021. ISSN 2444-054X.  https://doi.org/10.24875/ciru.20000223.

Background:

In the cavum segment the internal carotid artery has more susceptibility formation of aneurysms. The Solitaire™ AB stent is a scaffold that do flow blood diversion and promotes the aneurysms exclusion by thrombosis.

Case report:

63 year old female present pulsatile headache, diplopia, III left cranial nerve paresis and carried a cavum carotid saccular aneurysms of the left carotid artery. By endovascular procedure, we placed a Solitaire™ AB stent. She recovered the III left cranial nerve function in to 2 month and we observed exclusion of the aneurysms by DynaCT in 3 months.

Conclusion:

The reconstruction of an artery by endovascular therapy is an alternative treatment for no ruptured paraclinoid aneurysms.
