Abstract

Carotid trauma demands early diagnosis and treatment. Open repair may be technically challenging if the trauma is at the base of the neck. We present a case of iatrogenic penetrating carotid trauma caused by insertion of a hemodialysis catheter. Treatment was accomplished by placement of a covered stent-graft in the common carotid artery, covering the puncture site. This case suggests that placement of a covered stent-graft is a good option for treatment of iatrogenic injury to the carotid artery.

Keywords

carotid artery, covered stent graft, carotid perforation, carotid blowout

Resumo

O trauma da carótida exige diagnóstico e tratamento precoces. O tratamento convencional pode ser tecnicamente desafiador se o trauma penetrante for na base do pescoço. Apresentamos um caso de trauma penetrante da carótida associado ao implante iatrogênico de um cateter para hemodiálise. O tratamento foi realizado através da colocação de uma endoprótese na artéria carótida comum, cobrindo o local da punção. Este caso sugere que a colocação de uma endoprótese é uma boa opção para o tratamento de lesão iatrogênica da artéria carótida.
