Abstract

Arterial Pseudoaneurysms (PA) lack all three layers of the arterial wall that include the intima, media, and adventitia [1]. PA is most commonly seen after injuries to the artery in the form of blunt trauma and puncture and is less common after surgeries such as Carotid Endarterectomy (CEA) [1]. PA of the carotid artery is a very uncommon complication following CEA with an incidence of less than 1% of cases [2,3].
