Abstract 

This paper describes a hybrid repair of a distal extra-cranial internal carotid artery aneurysm involving open surgical transposition of the internal carotid artery followed by endovascular stent graft repair of the aneurysm. This procedure is most useful in cases with challenging anatomy to enable repair of the internal carotid artery aneurysm with minimal morbidity to the patient.
