An aid to accessing the distal internal carotid artery A. Ross Naylor, MD, FRCS, Andrew Moir, FRCS Journal of Vascular Surgery Volume 49, Issue 5, Pages 1345-1347 (May 2009) DOI: 10.1016/j.jvs.2008.12.076 Copyright © 2009 Society for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions

Fig 1 The patient is positioned as for carotid endarterectomy. The yellow dotted line indicates the planned incision. Note the use of transcranial Doppler ultrasound monitoring, which can be useful if carotid ligation is being considered, as well as nasolaryngeal intubation, which opens up the space between angle of the mandible and the mastoid process.

Fig 2 A, The parotid gland has been mobilized superomedially and the facial nerve (white arrow) is identified in its usual position lying deep to the tragal pointer (black arrow) on the superior border of the origin of the posterior belly of the digastric (PBD) muscle. B, In this patient, the distal internal carotid artery was controlled above the digastric muscle before the main artery was reopened to minimize bleeding from a disrupted, infected carotid patch.

Fig 3 With this surgical approach, the digastric muscle traverses the upper third of the wound and is divided to expose the distal internal carotid artery and the cranial nerves. The sutures around the cut ends of the digastric will be pulled laterally and clipped to the surgical drapes, which further improves exposure.

Fig 4 After division of the digastric muscle, a long segment of the upper internal carotid artery can be exposed. Also apparent are the principal cranial nerves, including the facial (VII), glossopharyngeal (IX), vagus (X), accessory (XI), and hypoglossal (XII).

Fig 5 Exposure of the styloid apparatus (yellow arrow) forms the upper limit of exposure in this patient. If further distal access is required, the musculature can be divided and dissection continued. Reproduced with permission from Naylor AR1 by Elsevier.

Fig 6 High surgical approach is used to facilitate removal of a glomus vagale tumor extending toward the skull base. The white sling is around the facial nerve; this is no longer our practice because it can lead to temporary facial nerve palsy.

Fig 7 High surgical approach used to gain access to the upper reaches of the internal carotid artery in a patient with an infected carotid patch. The white sling is around the distal internal carotid artery at the level of the glossopharyngeal nerve (XI). The hypoglossal nerve is encased in the inflammatory tissue between the patch and the nerve XI. The facial nerve (VII) is also evident (black arrow). PBD, Posterior belly of the digastric.

Fig 8 A membrane of tissue runs between the XII nerve inferiorly and the IX nerve superiorly containing the motor fibers of the vagus nerve. Injury to the latter fibers is one of the commonest reasons for mechanical swallowing problems that occur after distal carotid exposure. The white dotted line is the suggested way of incising the membrane to facilitate better distal access. Reproduced with permission from Naylor AR1 by Elsevier.
