| Popis: | Head and neck malignancies occasionally involve the cervical carotid artery, thereby complicating tumor excision. This report describes the use of a superficial femoral artery autograft to reconstruct the carotid artery following excision of the carotid bifurcation in conjunction with radical neck dissection for squamous cell carcinoma. This approach potentially offers greater graft resistance to local wound infection and excellent size matching to the common and internal carotid arteries. |
