Stent deployment resolves a petrous carotid artery angioplasty dissection.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A patient with a symptomatic petrous carotid artery stenosis underwent balloon angioplasty, which was complicated by a flow-limiting dissection. The problem was resolved by deploying a balloon-expandable coronary stent. The patient suffered no neurologic deficit, was discharged within 12 hours, and was asymptomatic at last follow-up, 5 months after the procedure, without warfarin therapy. This therapeutic option may prove useful as a means to correct endovascular procedural complications.

This number is divided as follows: innominate artery 7 (2 with stents), left subclavian artery 49 (15 with stents), right subclavian artery 18 (5 with stents), left common carotid artery 12 (6 with stents), right common carotid artery 5 (3 with stents), external carotid artery 21 (1 wi...
متن کاملCarotid Artery Stent Continued Expansion Days After Deployment, Without Post Stent Deployment Angioplasty
This is a carotid artery stent (CAS) case report, which avoids post-stent deployment angioplasty (Post-SDA), with duplex confirmed continued stent expansion at 1, 3 and 30-day post deployment. This report confirms that self-expanding nitinol stents in the carotid artery may not require Post-SDA. We believe CAS can be performed without Post-SDA, which helps reduce the occurrence of intraoperativ...
متن کاملEndovascular stent-assisted angioplasty in the management of traumatic internal carotid artery dissections.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The prognosis of traumatic dissection of the internal carotid artery is worse than for spontaneous dissections. Rapid stenting followed by antiplatelet therapy may prevent complications when anticoagulation therapy is not applicable. METHODS Patients with angiographically proven traumatic carotid artery dissection and hemodynamic significant hemispheric hypoperfusion, o...
متن کاملIntravascular Ultrasound for Intracranial and Extracranial Carotid Artery Stent Placement
Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) can provide valuable information regarding endoluminal morphology. We present the first description of IVUS-guided intracranial and extracranial carotid artery stent placement for arterial dissection. A 41-year-old female with a sudden-onset headache and blurred vision underwent a computed tomography (CT) angiogram imaging that revealed bilateral carotid artery d...
متن کاملAngioplasty and stenting in carotid dissection with or without associated pseudoaneurysm.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Carotid angioplasty and stent placement may be the preferred treatment in patients with carotid dissection who have failed medical management. The goal of this study was to determine the procedural feasibility and safety as well as long-term complication rates of carotid angioplasty and stent placement in a consecutive cohort of relatively young, high-surgical-risk patien...
