Abstract

Carotid blowout syndrome is a life-threatening complication for patients with head and neck cancer. Temporizing stent graft procedures improve short-term survival and can be the definitive treatment for various reasons, including a poor oncologic prognosis, unsuitability for definitive reconstruction, or a lack of operative options. A second carotid blowout will often be fatal. Preventing such events requires multidisciplinary strategic planning because of a hostile reoperative field. We have described a case of a 44-year-old man with a history of laryngeal cancer who had experienced a carotid blowout. Treated with a stent graft, the patient had experienced a second event 6 weeks later. Treatment involved excision and suture ligation with rotational muscle flap coverage.
