Abstract
Any pulsatile neck mass after extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) must be viewed as a pseudoaneurysm of the carotid artery until proven otherwise. Prompt diagnosis is necessary utilizing ultrasound. Angiography may not be necessary. Carotid artery pseudoaneurysm requires urgent surgical intervention to prevent catastrophic hemorrhage. The utilization of cardiopulmonary bypass may facilitate safe repair.Entities:
