RESUMEN
As a primarily prophylactic operation, the efficacy of carotid endarterectomy (CEA) depends on attaining a complication rate as low as possible. Complications can be classified by time period (periprocedural and late) or type (local and systemic). The authors' purpose is to describe the incidence of complications associated with CEA, identify causative factors, and suggest steps that can be taken to minimize their occurrence.

Ciliated hepatic foregut cyst is an extremely rare condition observed most frequently in the left hepatic lobe of young men. This report describes an unusual case of ciliated hepatic foregut cyst with involvement of the left hepatic vein in a 68-year-old woman. Preoperative imaging studies demonstrated characteristics of a solid tumor that were suggestive of a leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava. Magnetic resonance venography confirmed a mass in the anterolateral wall of the inferior vena cava or in the left hepatic vein. This report confirms the unusual occurrence of this tumor and the confusing factors related to the diagnostic workup.
