High-risk carotid stent implantation in a case with bilateral carotid artery stenosis.

ABSTRACT

Bilateral carotid revascularization with balloon angioplasty and self-expandable stent deployment in a 71-year-old patient with repeated transient ischemic attacks with blindness. Expansion of the internal carotid arteries was achieved bilaterally by the insertion of self-expandable stents into the arteries with excellent and safe results.
