HONDARES GUZMAN, María del Carmen; HERNANDEZ SEARA, Alejandro y VINA CISNEROS, Héctor. Aneurysm of the right internal carotid artery. Rev Cubana Angiol Cir Vasc [online]. 2020, vol.21, n.1 Epub 20-Mayo-2020. ISSN 1682-0037.
Introduction:
The aneurysm of the right internal carotid artery is a very rare disease. Its complications are very serious if we take into account the area that irrigates these arteries. The incidence of this disease is low.
Objective:
To present the clinical manifestations of this disease and the surgical treatment used in this patient.
Presentation of the case:
Male patient, 58 years old, with a history of arterial hypertension and presenting an aneurysm of the right internal carotid artery with five years of evolution. Such lump increased its size in the last six months; this was confirmed by ecodoppler and angiotomography, so he came to the consultation. The conventional surgical treatment was used: aneurysmectomy and grafting by substitution with polytetrafluroethylene prosthesis without complications.
Conclusions:
The patient developed successfully after surgery; he is currently evolving after three months of being operated on without complications and he keeps the treatment with antiplatelet agents.
