Abstract

When it is difficult to approach the brachial or femoral artery during endovascular surgery, an alternative approach is the direct puncture of the carotid artery. In this case of a giant cerebral aneurysm, we punctured the carotid artery directly and performed flow diverter stent placement and endosaccular coil embolization. Although the procedure required two thick access routes, it was performed after administering two antiplatelet drugs and an anticoagulant in order to achieve reliable hemostasis of the puncture sites after the operation. Direct common carotid artery puncture through a cervical skin incision is useful, because it ensures multiple access routes safely and provides secure hemostasis of the puncture sites.
