Case Description: A 55-year-old man presented with progressive right-sided hemiparesis and dysarthria. Computed tomography angiography revealed the cause of his repeated cerebral infarction was due to the distal emboli from an intra-aneurysmal thrombus of a giant thrombosed aneurysm at the origin of left common carotid artery. Right common carotid artery-saphenous vein graft-left common carotid artery bypass followed by left common carotid artery ligation was successfully performed. Conclusions: Carotid-carotid bypass followed by common carotid artery ligation is an optional procedure for symptomatic proximal common carotid artery aneurysm., World Neurosurgery, 138, pp.7-8; 2020}, pages = {7--8}, title = {Carotid-Carotid Bypass for a Carotid Artery Aneurysm}, volume = {138}, year = {2020} }
