Surgical thromboendarterectomy for free-floating thrombus associated with cervical carotid artery dissection: A case report.
Abstract
Free-floating thrombus (FFT) of the cervical carotid artery is a rare but critical condition leading to stroke. The most common underlying pathology is atherosclerotic plaque; non-atherosclerotic pathologies are much rarer. Here we report a case of FFT associated with cervical carotid artery dissection that was successfully treated by surgical thromboendarterectomy.
