    Author: Cafasso D, Meadows JM, Wolfe SQ, Katras T, Kellicut DC, Golarz SR.
    Journal: Ann Vasc Surg; 2014 Jan; 28(1):263.e11-6. PubMed ID: 24125848.
    Abstract:
    The detection of blunt carotid artery injures has improved because of more aggressive screening protocols. Initial treatment depends on multiple factors; however, controversy exists with regard to the treatment of pseudoaneurysmal degeneration, especially in this age of endovascular treatment options. Current options include anticoagulation, open surgical repair, and endovascular repair. We report a rare case of bilateral carotid artery pseudoaneurysm degeneration after bilateral carotid artery dissection caused by blunt trauma.
