Mild Carotid Stenosis with Repeated Stroke (Japanese case)
Previously, randomized clinical trials such as NASCET have concluded that patients with mild carotid artery stenosis (<50%) do not benet from CEA. However, as discussed in other sections of this book, the frequency of patients with fragile plaque including a necrotic core or intra-plaque hemorrhage has been increasing rapidly in recent years. These patients may have less than 50% stenosis but are refractory to the best medical treatment, resulting in repeated TIAs or strokes. We perform CEA aggressively in such patients with repeated TIAs or isch­emic strokes conned to the ipsilateral cerebral hemisphere despite the best medical treatment, including anti­platelet therapy. Clinical results of CEA for mild (<50%) carotid artery stenosis with unstable plaque on MRI are quite satisfactory in our case series (1). Nowadays, we are conducting a multi-center observational study in Japan to evaluate the clinical features, radiological nding, treatment strategy, and outcome in about 120 patients with symptomatic, mild (<50%) carotid artery stenosis (Mild, but Unstable Stenosis of ICA; MUSIC study). The URL of this study (UMIN000023635) is https://upload.umin.ac.jp/cgi-open-bin/ctr/ctr_view.cgi?recptno=R000027220. Final results will be xed in December 2022.
The patient presented here is an 83-year-old man. He was admitted to our hospital because of right hemi­paresis with sudden onset. Diffusion-weighted images showed a small, scattered infarct in the left hemisphere, suggesting the occurrence of artery-to-artery embolism (A). Cervical MRA and 3D-CTA showed a relatively long plaque with approximately 30% stenosis at the left ICA origin (B). Plaque MRI demonstrated high signal inten­sity on both T1-weighted images and time-of-ight (TOF) raw images, strongly suggesting a fragile, unstable plaque with intra-plaque hemorrhage (C). Therefore, we decided to perform CEA on the left side. Intra-operative observations revealed that the plaque contained a sludgy, muddy uid (D). CEA was safely performed without any problem, and post-operative course was uneventful. On post-operative cervical MRA, the stenosis had com­pletely resolved (E). Four years has passed since surgery without any recurrence of stroke.

Invasion of Inamed Plaque into the Media and Adventitia (Japanese case)
Although the frequently is not so high (maybe less than 1%), we may perform CEA for patients with the high degree of inammation in the plaque causing the lesion to extend beyond the intima to the media and fur­thermore the adventitia. We believe that this area should be removed as completely as possible, because if left untreated, it can be a source of post-operative embolization and a bed for restenosis. It is almost impossible to predict it on pre-operative imaging and the operator must decide on a strategy intra-operatively.
This 65-year-old male was admitted to our hospital with a sudden onset of mild motor aphasia. On admis­sion, diffusion-weighted images showed scattered small infarcts in the left frontal lobe (A). Cervical MRA showed approximately 70% carotid artery stenosis; on plaque MRI, plaque showed a high signal on T1-weighted images and was considered to be an unstable plaque (B). CEA was performed using the usual procedure. During sur­gery, we noticed that a part of the plaque lesion had inltrated into the media and the adventitia (C and D); after removing the plaque as a single mass, the lesion extended to the media and adventitia was resected along with the surrounding carotid artery wall (E). The defective portion of the carotid wall was repaired by suturing with 6-0 Prolene or 6-0 Preemio threads. The sutures were made along the direction of blood ow to prevent carotid stenosis (F). The staining revealed that plaque lesions rich in inammatory cells reached into the adventitia (G). After surgery, carotid stenosis completely resolved and no cerebrovascular events have occurred during 5 years of follow-up.

Cervical Carotid Aneurysm Associated with Marfan Syndrome (Japanese case)
The incidence of cervical carotid aneurysm is not high, but we may have the opportunity to treat it surgically. This 64-year-old woman was diagnosed with Marfan syndrome and dissecting aortic aneurysm. She was referred to our department because pre-operative screening revealed an aneurysm in the right cervical ICA. A pulsatile mass was palpated in the right mandible; 3D-CTA showed a marked tortuous extension of the right ICA, forming a large aneurysm (A, arrows). We decided to resect this aneurysm and reconstruct the carotid artery. A skin inci­sion, similar to carotid endarterectomy, was made in the right neck to expose the carotid artery. The aneurysm was located medial above the hypoglossal and ansa cervicalis (B, arrow). The aneurysm was detached from the surrounding tissue and pulled out in front of the operative eld (C, arrow). First, the CCA and the ICA distal to the aneurysm were clamped with bulldog forceps, and then an external shunt was created by inserting a three­way shunt tube into each to avoid complications due to cerebral ischemia during the operation (D). Aneurysm clips were then placed proximal and distal to the aneurysm and the aneurysm was resected. The proximal and distal ends of the ICA were anastomosed in an end-to-end fashion using a 6-0 Prolene. Finally, the shunt tube was removed and the incision was sutured to re-open the blood ow of carotid artery (E, arrow and D). (F) shows the resected aneurysm. Post-operative course was uneventful, and post-operative 3D-CTA demonstrated that the operated carotid artery was patent (G). She has experienced no recurrence of cervical carotid aneurysm for these 10 years after surgery.
