ABSTRACT
The management of blunt carotid artery dissections caused by hanging remains controversial, especially with regard to diagnostic work-up and treatment options. We present 2 men, 49 and 41 years of age, who were treated for bilateral common carotid artery dissection caused by strangulation. In the first patient, additional cricotracheal separation and blunt thyroid gland trauma was observed. Bilateral saphenous vein graft interposition was accomplished in both patients. In the first patient, tracheal repair and suture of the thyroid gland completed the procedure. At 1 year of follow-up, both patients were capable of managing their lives independently. A systematic review of the literature on managing near-hanging and nonfatal strangulation victims is included in this report to allow this case series to be put into perspective.
