Revascularization surgical options after carotid trauma: Case report from a cerebrovascular blood flow preservation overview.

An 18-year-old male underwent a tracheostomy that was complicated by an iatrogenic left-sided common carotid artery laceration, leading to loss of blood flow and a minor stroke in the anterior and medial territories of the left cerebral circulation. After the lesion was identified, carotid exploration was performed, followed by a vascular reconstruction using a synthetic graft to repair the damaged segment. This manuscript details the microsurgical techniques utilized and discusses the indications for this intervention, with a particular emphasis on stroke prevention.
