Abstract
|
|
|
Extracranial carotid artery disease is rare and closely related to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. We experienced one case of surgical treatment of left common carotid artery stenosis using internal shunt. The patient was 54-year-old
female
presented as headache and dizziness for about 2 years. On Doppler ultrasound, a atheromatous plaque was noted along the posteromedial wall of left common carotid artery resulting in luminal narrowing in about 75% of cross section area. The
atheroma
was
resected through carotid endarterectomy, measured about 5.2cm in length.
Postoperative course was uneventful and she was discharged in good condition.
