GORRIZ-GOMEZ, E.; CARREIRA, J.M.; GONZALEZ GARCIA, A.  and  MAYOL-DEYA, A.. Internal carotid artery pseudoaneurysm and stenosis: Treatment with stents and coils. Neurocirugía [online]. 2005, vol.16, n.6, pp.528-532. ISSN 1130-1473.

Purpose. To describe the endovascular management of a patient with postdisection internal carotid pseudoaneurysm and stenosis. Case report. A 45-year-old man presented with left hemyparesia; angiography showed right internal carotid artery occlusion, left carotid stenosis and pseudoaneurysm. A metallic uncovered stent was implanted by means of a femoral approach. Coils were delivered throught the uncovered stent and the pseudoaneurysm was excluded. Conclusion. The internal carotid percutaneous implantation of a carotid uncovered stent, and embolization throught stent in a patient with stenosis and pseudoaneurysm, appears to be a safe procedure without risk of coils migration.

Keywords : Stent; Carotid artery; Pseudoaneurysm; Embolization.
