206 CAROTID TREATMENT: PRINCIPLES AND TECHNIQUES

Isolation of Ascending Pharyngeal Artery (Right)
In this particular case, the gure illustrates another ascending pharyngeal artery that arose from the carotid bifurcation. In this instance, I thought I had isolated all branches of the carotid tree but was troubled by brisk and persistent backbleeding after opening of the carotid system. Because of my inability to complete the repair under these circumstances, I performed an extensive search for the cause of this backbleeding artery, which nally proved to be an ascending pharyngeal artery that was plastered up against the ICA. When this was dissected free, it was possible to place a small bulldog clamp across it, which totally stopped the bleeding.
Note that because of the substitution of a better photograph for the second edition, the artwork depicts an open ICA and a bulldog clamp on the ascending pharyngeal, while the new photograph shows a closed ICA pre-arteriotomy and an encircling silk tie. The principles remain the same.

Clues to the End of the ICA Plaque
We use information from the angiogram to inform and show us how high we need to expose up the ICA to be certain we are well beyond the end of the plaque. Shown here is a left lateral carotid angiogram in a patient with a short neck and a routine height carotid bifurcation. The top of the ICA plaque is so labeled, and we know we need to be at this point or above. We can guide ourselves in surgery by the ECA branches, which will be exposed in the dissection. So, in this case, by reviewing the angiogram, when at surgery we are at the height of the second major ECA branch (marked on the illustration), we know that we are at or above the distal extent of the ECA plaque, and can be reassured that it is now prudent to begin the endarterectomy itself.

Tactile and Visual End of Plaque—Left Carotid Exposure
With some experience, it is possible to ascertain the end of the ICA atherosclerotic plaque by visual inspection and tactile palpation of the vessel. It is important to determine this parameter because distal control must be obtained well beyond the end of the plaque in case placement of a shunt is necessary and also because it would be unwise to potentially cross-clamp an ICA across an area of atheroma.
This gure demonstrates the visual cues that indicate the end of the plaque—in particular, the yellowish shade of the atherosclerotic carotid wall, which turns to a pink/blue color beyond the end of the atheroma. In this case, vascular pickups were placed for demonstration purposes at the portion of the vessel where this transition zone occurs. Likewise, palpation of this vessel would reveal a hard stony plaque in the region of the atheroma and a soft, smooth pliable vessel distal to it. Note that the silk tie encircling the ICA has been placed well above the end of the plaque and a nice high ICA exposure has been achieved. In this particular gure, the vagus nerve lying lateral and deep to the ICA can also be seen.

Tactile and Visual End of Plaque—Right Carotid Exposure
A low-power, more general view of a right carotid artery ready for cross-clamping provides a good example of the visual end of atheromatous plaque. The bayonet illustrates the end of the tactile and visual atheroma, and an ICA exposure was developed well above this region.

Doppler Auscultation for Extent of Plaque
The handheld sterile Doppler probe, which is readily available in the operating room, is also a useful way to lis­ten for the increase in luminal velocity (higher pitched sound) when the distal end of the ICA plaque is reached. We routinely use the Doppler to map out the extent of the plaque before opening the vessel. This photo shows the Doppler probe on the proximal CCA, and while we like to listen there also, it is really at the ICA end that the information is the most useful to the surgeon.
