ABSTRACT
A major concern associated with carotid artery angioplasty and stenting (CAS) is a periprocedural distal cerebral embolization. To prevent distal embolization, embolic protection devices (EPDs) have been developed. However, the risk of cerebral embolism after protected CAS in patents with a vulnerable plaque is controversial and either a silent or a symptomatic stroke can occur despite the use of EPDs. Here, we report a case of a massive cerebral microemboli after a protected CAS using a distal filter EPD for a vulnerable plaque with a lipid rich necrotic core and intraplaque hemorrhage.
