Case Presentation |
A 69 year-old male was referred for the treatment of carotid artery stenosis. He has had no specific neurologic symptoms. A carotid artery stenosis was revealed on health screenings at another hospital with a carotid duplex sonography. His cardiovascular risk factors were hypertension, dyslipidemia and previous percutaneous coronary intervention. A magnetic resonance angiography showed significant stenosis at the left internal carotid artery. |
Baseline Imaging Studies |
1. Magnetic resonance angiography revealed a severe stenosis at the left proximal internal carotid artery (Figure 1). 2. Carotid angiography showed a significant stenosis (Figure 2). |
Endovascular Procedure |
The right femoral artery was punctured and a 6 Fr sheath was introduced. After insertion of a 5 Fr Headhunter diagnostic catheter into the left common carotid artery, we performed carotid angiography ( |
