Direct surgical repair with preservation of the ICA may be difficult. The feasibility of endovascular coil embolization with parent artery preservation for an iatrogenic ICA pseudoaneurysm is undefined.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p content-type=\"fine-print\">A 40-year-old man was referred to the authors' institution after identification of a pseudoaneurysm of the left ICA following transsphenoidal resection of a pituitary macroadenoma. The pseudoaneurysm was treated via an endovascular approach that included stent-assisted coil embolization of the lesion. Follow-up angiographic studies obtained 1 year later demonstrated complete occlusion of the aneurysm, and the patient remains asymptomatic.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p content-type=\"fine-print\">Stent-assisted coil embolization of this iatrogenic pseudoaneurysm was successful in achieving complete, angiographically confirmed aneurysm obliteration, with preservation of the ICA and short-term prevention of hemorrhage or carotid\u2014cavernous fistula. The endovascular method provided an effective, relatively low-risk treatment for this difficult lesion, and was an excellent alternative to direct surgical repair. Nonetheless, long-term follow-up review is required before definitive treatment recommendations can be made.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.2002.96.3.0624","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,5,13]],"date-time":"2009-05-13T17:48:55Z","timestamp":1242236935000},"page":"624-627","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":72,"title":["Endovascular treatment of an internal carotid artery pseudoaneurysm following transsphenoidal surgery"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"96","author":[{"given":"Nurdin A.","family":"Kadyrov","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jonathan A.","family":"Friedman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Douglas A.","family":"Nichols","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aaron A.","family":"Cohen-Gadol","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michael J.","family":"Link","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"David G.","family":"Piepgras","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"key":"b1","series-title":"Neurosurgery","first-page":"774","article-title":"Carotid cavernous fistula and false aneurysm of the cavernous carotid artery: complications of transsphenoidal surgery.","volume":"31","author":"Ahuja","year":"1992"},{"key":"b2","series-title":"Radiology","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"309","DOI":"10.1148\/radiology.191.2.8153296","article-title":"Should metallic vascular stents be used to treat cerebrovascular occlusive diseases?","volume":"191","author":"Becker","year":"1994"},{"key":"b3","series-title":"J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"127","DOI":"10.1136\/jnnp.36.1.127","article-title":"Traumatic cerebral aneurysms.
