Abstract

Introduction. The combination of carotid artery stenosis and intracranial aneurysms occurs with a frequency of up to 6.5%. Determination of the optimal approach to treatment of this group of patients includes minimization of risks of both ischemic stroke and aneurysm rupture.

Objective of the study. To analyze the results of surgical treatment of patients with a combination of cerebral aneurysms and stenoses of the precerebral arteries.

Material and methods. A retrospective analysis of the results of treatment of patients with cerebral aneurysms combined with carotid artery stenosis who underwent surgical treatment in our institution during the period from 2019 to 2020 was performed. A comparative analysis was performed according to the main parameters: gender, history of subarachnoid hemorrhage and transient ischemic attack, unilateral or bilateral carotid artery stenosis, number of aneurysms, ipsilateral or contralateral location of aneurysm, degree of artery stenosis, stability of atherosclerotic plaque, intra- and postoperative complications.

Results. Sixteen patients were included in the study. Angioplasty with carotid stenting was the first stage in 3 patients, occlusion or embolization of aneurysm in 9 patients, one-stage treatment was performed in 4 patients.  The most frequent aneurysm localization was the ophthalmic segment of the internal carotid artery. Multiple aneurysmal lesions of cerebral vessels were detected in 8 patients. Initial carotid angioplasty was not associated with aneurysm rupture in any patient in the study subsequently.

Conclusion. Combined carotid artery stenosis and intracranial aneurysms are relatively uncommon. Carotid angioplasty as the first stage of treatment does not increase the risk of aneurysm rupture in the short term, in our opinion. One-stage aneurysm occlusion and angioplasty with carotid stenting are the methods of choice if technically possible.
