Fig. 1 Preoperative contrast-enhanced CT scan of neck demonstrates 3 cm diameter aneurysm of right internal carotid artery (arrow). Note calcification at 3, 8, and 11 o'clock positions. These opacities are visible in postoperative CT scan (Fig. 3) and must be distinguished from extravasation of contrast material.

Fig. 2 A, On-table preprocedure angiogram obtained through side port of introducing sheath. Note radiopaque hemostatic clip at bifurcation, which was placed during previous endarterectomy. B, On-table postprocedure angiogram confirms exclusion of aneurysm from circulation. Note radiopaque markers indicating proximal and distal extent of endograft.
