 | Couldwell, William T. | Increasing exposure of the petrous internal carotid artery for revascularization using the transzygomatic extended middle fossa approach: a cadaveric morphometric study | When internal carotid artery (ICA) sacrifice is planned in the management of difficult tumors or aneurysms at the cranial base, the petrous ICA may be a useful site for anastomosis for interpositional vascular bypass. However, exposure of the artery and performing an anastomosis in this region may... | Revascularization; Internal carotid artery; Cranial base tumors; Giant aneurysms; Interpositional bypass; Surgical approach; Middle fossa | 2006 |
