Case Presentation |
A 69 year-old male was referred for the treatment of carotid artery stenosis. He complained of recent intermittent headache and dizziness. His cardiovascular risk factors were diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia and smoking. A magnetic resonance angiography showed significant stenosis at the right internal carotid artery (ICA). |
