| More Details: | A 60-year-old woman was transferred to our emergency department with complaints of throat pain after consuming a boiled stingray. A fish bone foreign body piercing the right common carotid artery was detected on computed tomography. Surgery was performed in cooperation with the neurosurgeons. Although we faced difficulty in arresting the bleeding from the common carotid artery due to inflammation, we sutured the arterial wall and removed the foreign body by clamping the common artery. The patient was discharged without major complications. Prompt emergent surgery with thorough preparation and consideration of hemostasis contributed to saving her life. |
