Successful Interventional Management of Common Carotid Artery Rupture during Recurrent Parathyroid Cancer Surgery: A Case Report.

Common carotid artery (CCA) rupture during parathyroid cancer surgery is extremely rare and is generally life-threatening. We present a case of successful management of a ruptured CCA following the emergency placement of stent-graft in a 59-year-old male diagnosed with recurrent parathyroid cancer. During recurrent parathyroid cancer surgery, his right CCA ruptured unexpectedly, and his vital signs deteriorated rapidly despite surgical management. After stent replacement, his unstable vital signs improved and, thereafter, he was discharged without any complications.
