Abstract
Immediate operative exploration has been considered mandatory for all penetrating injuries to Zone II of the neck and in any patient who is unstable, regardless of the location of the injury. We report two cases of penetrating carotid artery injuries in children successfully managed with endovascularly placed covered stents. These cases demonstrate that endovascular carotid artery repair can be considered in children, including in patients with Zone II injuries and in initially unstable patients.
