Abstract

LOZANO-SANCHEZ, Francisco S  and  MUNOZ-HERRERA, Ángel. Carotid paraganglioma resection. Angiología [online]. 2022, vol.74, n.6, pp.286-291.  Epub Jan 23, 2023. ISSN 1695-2987.  https://dx.doi.org/10.20960/angiologia.00389.

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. Although they follow standard patterns, the authors show personal aspects of the surgical technique that they currently implement. In a second, less frequent part, the technical (and tactical) aspects of arterial resection-repair (carotid axis) are discussed as part of the resection of certain carotid paragangliomas.

Keywords : Carotid paraganglioma; Carotid body tumour; Subadventitial resection.
