dc.description.abstractAim: We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of graft stent implantation in the endovascular treatment of vascular injuries in the craniocervical area.Materials and methods: This study was carried out through the retrospective screening of eight (two females and six males) patients' records. Patients who used graft stents as an endovascular method were included in the study. The mean age of the patients was 43.6 years (with a range of 15-69 years). Due to different mechanisms, the patients had vascular injuries in the craniocervical region, and graft stent implantation was performed between 2010 and 2022. We evaluated patient demographics, admission symptoms, trauma mechanisms, angiographic findings, treatment modalities and materials, patient outcomes, and follow-up periods.Results: Due to iatrogenesis for four patients, penetrating trauma for three patients, and blunt trauma for one patient, injuries were present in the right internal carotid artery {ICA} (n=1), left ICA (n=1), left common carotid artery {CCA} (n=3), right CCA (n=1), right vertebral artery (n=1), and left vertebral artery (n=1). Angiographically, pseudoaneurysm was detected in seven patients, and vascular rupture was detected in one patient using contrast agent extravasation. All patients who underwent the endovascular method had technical success. Since bleeding from the external carotid artery branches was seen in two patients, these branches were embolized with coils. No radiologically or neurologically pathological findings were recorded during the follow-up period (with a range of one week to 12 years).Conclusion: Graft stent use in the endovascular treatment of craniocervical vascular injuries is an operable, safe, and promising option, especially in patients with pseudoaneurysms and active bleeding.en_US
