Interventions
Carotid graft interposition
In patients with extensive atherosclerotic carotid disease, when endarterectomy isn't feasible, replacement of the carotid artery with a graft is needed. Graft interposition can be performed either by end-to-end proximal and distal anastomoses in the undiseased common and internal carotid artery with ligation of the external carotid artery, or by side-to-end proximal anastomosis on the origin of the internal carotid artery and end-to-end distal anastomosis on the internal carotid artery with flow preservation in the external carotid artery.
