Covered Stent Graft for Treatment of Carotid Blowout Syndrome in Patients With Head and Neck Cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Carotid blowout syndrome (CBS) is a rare life-threatening complication of head and neck cancer that requires either surgical or endovascular treatment such as a carotid occlusion procedure or stent-graft placement. CBS outcomes and complications of its management using endovascular stent-graft placement remain unclear due to limited published data. Given that this treatment approach is increasingly used, understanding its efficacy and associated risks is paramount.

Objective

To evaluate the periprocedural and postprocedural complications and outcomes associated with stent-graft treatment for CBS in patients with head and neck cancer.

Design, setting, and participants
