Abstract
A patient with internal carotid artery (ICA) rupture due to multiple
irradiations underwent revascularization with high-flow bypass under the
condition that endovascular treatment could not be performed. It was
possible to safely remove necrotic tissues and reconstruct the skull
base using trapping of the ruptured ICA.
