  • Title: [Sub-temporal supra-petrous approach to the horizontal portion of the sub-petrous internal carotid artery. Technique, indications, incidents and accidents].

    Abstract:
    Cavernous sinus exploration, anterior middle fossa transpetrous approach, and saphenous vein graft bypass require proximal control of the horizontal segment of the petrous internal carotid artery. Exposing the petrous portion of the internal carotid artery is not without the potential for serious complications (cochlea, facial nerve, auditory tube, musculus tensor tympani). With guidance from the classicaly landmarks within Glasscock's triangle, the bony petrous carotid canal can be unroofed. The authors describe an alternative method for obtaining direct vascular control under the trigeminal ganglion, safety unroofing of the carotid canal and control of the posterior face of the carotid bend. The indications, advantages, and disadvantages of this approach are described in details, along with its use in seven patients.
