Abstract
- A 67 year-old male who had suffered from myocardial infarction, was admitted to our clinic to examine his internal carotid artery stenosis revealed by preoperative study for heart surgery. Although he had no neurological symptoms, the angiograms showed severe stenosis of his right internal carotid artery. To improve stenotic internal carotid artery, PTA was performed employing a self-expanding stent. The stenotic right internal carotid artery was improved from 75% to 11% immediately after the stenting though restenosis mildly occurred up to 16% three months later. No complication occurred during this stenting procedure. Afterwards the patient uneventfully received coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery.
