  • Title: Absent right common carotid artery with stenting of symptomatic internal carotid artery stenosis.
    Author: Berczi V, Bottomley JR, Gopalan D, Griffiths PD, Gaines PA, Cleveland TJ.
    Journal: J Vasc Surg; 2014 May; 59(5):1418-21. PubMed ID: 23768791.
    Abstract:
    Absent common carotid artery with independent origin of internal and external carotid arteries from the subclavian artery is a rare but recognized phenomenon. We describe one such case with an associated symptomatic proximal high-grade stenosis of the right internal carotid artery. The abnormal carotid anatomy was not initially well appreciated, resulting in a failed surgical exploration and subsequent successful endovascular carotid stenting. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of carotid stent in a right internal carotid artery originating from the subclavian artery.
