Symptomatic lesions are resistant to medical treatment and revascularization are often required, but there is no consensus on the treatment of CCAO. In this paper, two cases of symptomatic CCAO treated by carotid endarterectomy (CEA) with L-shaped ministernotomy, in which the lesions extended to the beginning part of the CCA, are reported.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"st2\">\n<jats:title>Case Description:<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Case 1 involved a 74-year-old man who presented with transient left limb numbness and an abnormal right visual field. Cerebrovascular angiography showed that the right CCA was occluded immediately after its origin and blood was supplied from the posterior circulation. CEA was performed with an L-shaped ministernotomy that allowed exposure of the CCA origin with minimal invasion. There were no complications associated with the sternal incision and he was discharged with a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of 0. Case 2 involved a 70-year-old man who presented with left half-blindness. Magnetic resonance imaging showed infarction in the right posterior cerebral artery region and neck echo showed CCA pseudo occlusion just before the carotid bulb. A new infarction in the right middle cerebral artery region developed during hospitalization. CEA with partial sternotomy was performed. The patient was rehabilitated with no deterioration of neurological findings and transferred with an mRS score of 3.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"st3\">\n<jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>There were no complications resulting from partial sternotomy in the two cases presented. CEA with partial sternotomy could be an effective treatment option for CCAO in which the internal carotid artery is patent and thrombus extends to the proximal CCA.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.25259\/sni_463_2019","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,3]],"date-time":"2020-01-03T12:42:38Z","timestamp":1578055358000},"page":"1","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.25259\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Two cases of symptomatic common carotid artery occlusion treated by carotid endarterectomy with L-shaped ministernotomy"],"prefix":"10.25259","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Shotaro","family":"Ogawa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fukutaro","family":"Ohgaki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ryosuke","family":"Mizuta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yasuyuki","family":"Furuta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shigeta","family":"Fujitani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"So","family":"Fujimoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Takahiro","family":"Ota","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"10894","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_463_2019\/ref-1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"35","DOI":"10.1161\/01.STR.24.1.35","article-title":"Classification of subtype of acute ischemic stroke.
