A modified endovascular treatment protocol for iatrogenic internal carotid artery injuries following endoscopic endonasal surgery.

CONCLUSIONSThe endovascular treatment protocol used in this study for ICA injuries during EES was helpful in the management of this rare complication. Willis stent placement improved the preservation rate of injured ICA during EES. It would be highly advantageous to manage this complication in a hybrid OR or by a mobile C-arm to get a clear intraoperative angiogram.
