376 CAROTID TREATMENT: PRINCIPLES AND TECHNIQUES

Use of Fogarty Catheters to Re-Open Thrombosed Internal Carotid Artery
If satisfactory backbleeding is not obtained with the method previously described for thrombus removal with a shunt tubing on a blunt needle, a Fogarty catheter can be used instead. The problem with Fogarty catheters involves documented reports of the creation of a carotid cavernous stula by inating the balloon in the cavern­ous carotid artery. Nonetheless, if there is no other technique available to re-establish backbleeding, a Fogarty catheter is a useful choice. As shown in the illustration, it is advanced up into the region of thrombus. The bal­loon is then inated and the catheter is withdrawn, pulling thrombus with it. It may be necessary to repeat this step several times before adequate backbleeding is obtained. It should be emphasized that copious backbleeding rather than a mere trickle should be the endpoint with either method and in the absence of signicant backbleed­ing, it may be wiser to perform a stump ligation and closure of the ICA rather than settling for re-establishment of ow with an upstream thrombus that will then be catapulted up into the intra-cranial circulation.

Post-Operative Wound Hematoma
These two illustrations show an AP (A) and lateral view (B) of a patient who developed a post-operative wound hematoma on the rst day. This particular patient had a prosthetic cardiac valve and was maintained on full heparinization post-operatively before being converted back to coumadin. He was neurologically intact and had no airway problems. We were concerned about an aneurysm, of course; however, duplex scanning conrmed an intact carotid repair with no evident problems, and the hematoma resolved spontaneously without further issues. I feel strongly that a wound hematoma such as this needs to be investigated in some way to conrm the integrity of the repair, whether by duplex, MRA, CTA, or catheter angiography.

Aneurysm Formation 4 Years Post-Operatively
This case is of an older woman who had an uneventful left CEA with Hemashield roof patch 4 years prior to this event. She was neurologically intact. She presented to our ENT service with a neck mass (A) not related to any inciting event; specically, she reported no trauma or heavy exertion, also no pain or bleeding. The radiologists read both her CT and MRI/MRA scans as being normal. Nonetheless, I was sufciently concerned that I ordered catheter angiography (B), which demonstrated this aneurysmal segment along the repair. She was treated with a stent with good results, and the mass resolved with no complications of any kind.

Post-CEA Hyperperfusion Syndrome (Japanese case)
This 80-year-old male developed transient weakness of the right extremities and was admitted to our hospital. Diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) demonstrated fresh cerebral infarcts in the MCA-ACA borderzone. MR angiog­raphy showed very tight stenosis (>95%) of the left ICA (arrow). On was markedly reduced in the left cerebral hemisphere. He was treated with continuous infusion and heparin, but repeated the attacks of right hemiparesis, motor aphasia, and syncope every day. Therefore, he underwent CEA ahead of schedule. CBF measurement was repeated just after surgery, which showed a marked elevation of CBF in the left cerebral hemisphere (POD0). He was diagnosed as having post-operative hyperperfusion. Sev­eral hours later, he complained of severe headache on the left side. Therefore, his blood pressure was kept lower than usual in order to prevent intracerebral hemorrhage, using continuous administration of anti-hypertensive agent. Repeated CBF measurement on the third day after surgery (POD3) revealed a complete resolution of post­operative hyperperfusion and CBF normalization. He was discharged 10 days after surgery.

Post-CEA Occlusion of External Carotid Artery (Japanese case)
This 75-year-old female suddenly developed weakness of the left extremities and was admitted to our hospi­tal. MR angiography revealed very tight stenosis of the right ICA, which was associated with the reduction of ow signal in the distal ICA. The right external carotid artery (ECA) was also stenotic (arrow). She successfully underwent CEA, and post-operative course was uneventful. However, MR angiography performed 3 days after surgery demonstrated the unexpected occlusion of the right ECA (arrowhead), although right ICA stenosis was resolved. On intra-operative indocyanine green (ICG) videoangiography, the ECA was patent after the closure of carotid arteriotomy, thus ECA occlusion was considered to have occurred with a delay in the post-operative period.
Unexpected ECA occlusion has been reported to occur in 4%–8% during or after standard CEA (1,2). For- tunately, no complications occurred in this case, but emboli from the ECA stump can stray into the ICA and cause ischemic stroke. Therefore, if thick plaque remains at the extremity of the ECA at the end of the standard endarterectomy, an endarterectomy should be performed without hesitation by adding a new arteriotomy to the ECA as well.
