The effective treatment plan for carotid aneurysm depends on the patient’s condition, which includes conservative treatment, interventional treatment and surgery.
1. When the carotid artery only shows mild aneurysmal dilatation and does not cause obvious symptoms, it can be observed dynamically for the time being, reviewed regularly and controlled actively in terms of blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol, etc., so as to carry out conservative treatment.
2. When the aneurysm of the carotid artery is large, active intervention is needed, otherwise, when the aneurysm ruptures, it may cause fatal hemorrhage. For relatively lower carotid aneurysms, surgical resection or ligation of the external carotid artery can be chosen according to the situation.
3. For higher carotid aneurysms, especially intracranial carotid aneurysms, traditional surgery is more traumatic and difficult, so interventional surgery can be chosen to block or embolize the aneurysm.
When carotid aneurysm occurs, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time and standardize the treatment under the doctor’s guidance.
