Interpositional carotid artery bypass strategies in the surgical management of aneurysms and tumors of the skull base.
Neurosurgical Focus 2003 March 16
Cerebral revascularization is an important component in the surgical management of complex skull base tumors and aneurysms. Patients who harbor complex aneurysms that cannot be clipped directly and in whom parent vessel occlusion cannot be tolerated may require cerebrovascular bypass surgery. In cases in which skull base tumors encase the carotid artery (CA) and a resection is desired, a cerebrovascular bypass may be necessary in planned CA occlusion or sacrifice. In this review the authors discuss options for performing high-flow anterograde interposition CA bypass for lesions of the skull base. The authors review three important bypass techniques involving saphenous vein grafts: the cervical-to-petrous internal carotid artery (ICA), petrous-to-supraclinoid ICA, and cervical-to-supraclinoid ICA bypass. These revascularization techniques are important tools in the surgical treatment of complex aneurysms and tumors of the skull base and cavernous sinus.
