Occasionally, in order to revascularize the carotid bifurcation one may need to cross the neck with a bypass that originates
in the opposite subclavian or common carotid artery. This report describes a short, natural route behind the pharynx that
permits using a shorter bypass as well as a direct reimplantation of one common carotid into its opposite without an intervening
graft.
