目的　探讨颈动脉体瘤切除术及颈动脉切除患者的选择指标。方法　对拟行颈动脉切除的患者 ,术前行Matas试验和Willis环发育状况评价。术中单纯行瘤体剥离术或与颈动脉一并切除。结果　颈动脉体瘤患者 11例 ,瘤体切除 8例 ,瘤体并颈动脉切除 3例 ,无脑并发症发生及死亡。结论　颈动脉体瘤提倡以瘤体剥离为主 ,对预计瘤体剥离困难者 ,术前可应用Matas试验和Willis环发育状况测定筛选可以安全切除颈动脉的患者。 Objective To investigate the selection of carotid body tumor excision and carotid artery resection. Methods The patients who underwent carotid artery resection were evaluated with Matas test and Willis ring preoperatively. Intraoperative simple tumor dissection or with carotid artery resection. Results There were 11 cases of carotid body tumor, 8 cases of tumor resection, 3 cases of tumor and carotid artery resection without complications and death. Conclusion Carotid body tumor advocated that tumor stripping should be the main method. For those who are experiencing difficulties in stripping the tumor, Matas test and Willis ring development may be used to screen the patients who can safely remove the carotid artery.
