Re: Delayed Development of Aneurysmal Dilatations in Patients With Extracranial Carotid Artery DissectionsEuropean Journal of Vascular and Endovascular SurgeryVol. 65Issue 2PreviewWe were very interested in the recently published article by van Laarhoven and colleagues.1 We totally agree with their conclusion that multiple artery dissections and arterial tortuosity were identified as putative factors for the development of aneurysmal dilatations in patients with extracranial carotid artery dissections. However, we think it is inappropriate to use the phrase “dissecting ECAA” to describe the aneurysmal degeneration following extracranial carotid arterial dissection (ECAA). Full-Text PDF
