摘要
The surgical treatment of recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma (rNPC) involving the internal carotid artery (ICA) is challenging, as the massive bleeding caused by intraoperative rupture of the ICA is life-threatening. We reported that ICA embolization is an effective pretreatment to avoid fatal bleeding, but some patients cannot tolerate the procedure. We used endovascular vascular protection (ICA stents), vascular sacrifice (bypass grafting) and extravascular vascular protection (transcervical external stent placement) of the ICA to provide alternative options for these patients. METHODOLOGYy: This study enrolled patients with rNPC adjacent to or invading the ICA who were unsuitable for ICA embolization from January 2015 to June 2020. ICA pretreatment combined with endoscopic nasopharyngectomy (ENPG) was performed for the 30 patients. We report the survival outcome and incidence of complications after ICA pretreatment.ICA pretreatment was performed for the 30 enrolled patients, among whom 8 underwent endoscopic-assisted transcervical protection of the parapharyngeal ICA combined with ENPG, 6 underwent bypass grafting, and 16 underwent ICA stent implantation followed by ENPG. After pretreatment, at a median follow-up of 43 months (range, 2-80 months), the 3-year locoregional overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), locoregional recurrence-free survival (LRRFS), and distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) were 62.9%, 61.3%, 70.2%, and 71.4%, respectively.ICA pretreatment combined with salvage ENPG enables the feasible and effective resection of rNPC lesions involving the ICA in patients who cannot tolerate ICA embolization. Therefore, this treatment may be an effective method for improving outcomes. Multidisciplinary therapy is needed to reduce operation-related complications.
