- Abstract
Mycotic pseudoaneurysms of the extracranial carotid artery are rare and need surgical treatment to prevent rupture or embolization. We treated a case of a carotid bifurcation pseudoaneurysm secondary to infection caused by Staphylococcus epidermidis . We successfully treated it using a catheter balloon to obtain carotid bifurcation's control and replacing the carotid bifurcation with a vein graft. Management involves aneurysmectomy associated with antibiotic therapy and restoration of arterial continuity., Competing Interests: The authors declared no potential conflicts of interest with respect to the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article., (Copyright © 2020 Giuseppe Deiana et al.)
