Emergent surgical embolectomy in conjunction with cervical internal carotid ligation and superficial temporal artery-middle cerebral artery bypass to treat acute tandem internal carotid and middle cerebral artery occlusion due to cervical internal carotid artery dissection

BACKGROUND: Acute tandem cervical dissecting internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion and intracranial embolic middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion can be devastating, and the optimal treatment strategy for this condition has not been established yet. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 45-year-old male presented...

description BACKGROUND: Acute tandem cervical dissecting internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion and intracranial embolic middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion can be devastating, and the optimal treatment strategy for this condition has not been established yet. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 45-year-old male presented with aphasia and right hemiparesis preceded by neck pain. Computed tomography showed a high-density signal along the left MCA, suggesting extensive emboli. Magnetic resonance angiography demonstrated tandem occlusion of the left cervical ICA and intracranial MCA with minimal diffusion-weighted imaging lesion. Emergent surgical embolectomy was performed, and long intracranial MCA emboli were retrieved with collateral cross-flow restoration. The cervical ICA was exposed, and dissection was confirmed. The cervical ICA was ligated, and superficial temporal artery (STA)-MCA anastomosis was added. Postoperatively, the patient demonstrated recovery from right hemiparesis and aphasia. At the 6(th) postoperative month, follow-up studies demonstrated a robustly patent STA-MCA bypass and no additional ischemic lesion on T2-weighted imaging. CONCLUSIONS: Surgical embolectomy in conjunction with ligation of the cervical ICA followed by STA-MCA bypass might be a safe alternative method to endovascular recanalization, when the cervical dissection is extensive and when huge secondary emboli are present along the MCA.
