Abstract:

The article provides an example of successful surgical treatment of progressive chronic cerebral ischemia due to occlusion of the brachiocephalic trunk and critical stenosis of the right internal carotid artery (more than 85%). We describe a hybrid method of surgical treatment, which include direct access to the neurovascular bundle, retrograde endovascular recanalization following angioplasty and stenting of the brachiocephalic trunk during temporary occlusion of the distal internal carotid artery and carotid endarterectomy. We provide an analysis of indications for each phase of operation considering the features of compensatory collateral circulation in the basin of the occluded brachiocephalic trunk and the possible complications of surgery.
