36-year old woman, s/p motor vehicle collision. On admission, an angiogram demonstrated a pseudoaneurysm of the thoracic aorta, as well as a grade 3 (pseudoaneurysm) of her left internal carotid artery. Her aorta was repaired immediately; on follow-up angiography of her carotid injury, her pseudoaneurysm had progressed and there was significant narrowing of the adjacent internal carotid artery. Digital subtraction angiogram of the left internal carotid artery, s/p stent placement. A 6 mm × 47 mm Magic Wallstent (Boston Scientific, Watertown, MA) was placed. Notice the immediate and nearly complete resolution of the pseudoaneurysms.
