Aim of the study: To present our rescue approach of carotid artery occlusion as well as to discuss other possible techniques that can be applied in similar situations.Materials and methods: Two cases from our institution with acute complications during carotid micro-endarterectomy (CEA).Results: Two cases from our institution with acute postoperative complications during CEA that were successfully addressed are presented with imaging and detailed description of the surgical techniques used.Conclusion: CEA are common surgical procedures pursued to achieve revascularization of carotid arteries when occluded partially or fully by an atherosclerotic plaque. As with any surgical procedure, associated complications exist in small percentage of the cases. These can include blood flow limitation due to an insufficient artery wall after atherosclerotic plaque extraction as well as distal kinking of the internal carotid artery. A direct end-to-end ACE-ACI bypass with occlusion of the proximal ACI and distal ACE stump preserves distal flow to the ACI, however the original arteriotomy of ACC must be completely sutured up to the arterial stumps.

D000714	Anastomosis, Surgical	Surgical union or shunt between ducts, tubes or vessels. It may be end-to-end, end-to-side, side-to-end, or side-to-side.	Surgical Anastomosis,Anastomoses, Surgical,Surgical Anastomoses
D016893	Carotid Stenosis	Narrowing or stricture of any part of the CAROTID ARTERIES, most often due to atherosclerotic plaque formation. Ulcerations may form in atherosclerotic plaques and induce THROMBUS formation. Platelet or cholesterol emboli may arise from stenotic carotid lesions and induce a TRANSIENT ISCHEMIC ATTACK; CEREBROVASCULAR ACCIDENT; or temporary blindness (AMAUROSIS FUGAX).
