Abstract

LOZANO-SANCHEZ, Francisco S  and  VALVERDE-GARCIA, Sergio. Arterial resection-repair as part of the resection of a carotid paraganglioma. Angiología [online]. 2022, vol.74, n.3, pp.115-118.  Epub July 11, 2022. ISSN 1695-2987.  https://dx.doi.org/10.20960/angiologia.00390.

The authors of this article, based on their personal experience that exceeds three decades (1991-2021) and fifty patients (53 with 58 carotid paragangliomas and 5 bilateral cases), indicate how they perform surgical resection. In this second part, which is less frequent, the technical (and tactical) aspects of arterial resection-repair (carotid axis) are exposed as part of the resection of certain carotid paragangliomas. Although they follow standard patterns, the authors show personal aspects of the surgical technique that they currently implement.

Keywords : Carotid paraganglioma; Carotid body tumour; Carotid surgery.
