Abstract
IntroductionInternal jugular vein aneurysms are very uncommon. Indications for surgery include the compression of adjacent structures and the risk of pulmonary embolism associated with thrombus within the aneurysm. ReportA 78-year-old woman was hospitalised with a large internal jugular vein aneurysm filled with thrombus. A bare metal stent was deployed from the left subclavian vein to the left brachiocephalic vein and served as a protection device during the open surgical resection of the aneurysm. At 28-month follow-up no serious complications had occurred. DiscussionThis case report introduces a novel method to prevent pulmonary embolism during treatment of large partially thrombosed jugular vein aneurysms.
