An Infected Brachiocephalic Aneurysm with Bilateral Carotid Stenosis: A Case Report

Abstract

An aneurysm of the brachiocephalic artery belongs to peripheral vascular disease. When planning surgery, it is important to consider the anatomical characteristic of the brachiocephalic artery which is vital to cerebral circulation. We report that an infected aneurysm of the brachiocephalic artery with bilateral carotid stenosis was successfully treated with a deliberate surgical strategy described here.
