Abstract
A patient with a previous history of neck cancer and carotid endarterectomy presents with a pulsatile cervical mass. Further evaluation reveals the presence of a pseudoaneurysm of the common carotid artery. The endovascular treatment options and techniques employed to exclude the pseudoaneurysm are presented and discussed.
