title: [Endovascular treatments of internal carotid artery diseases].
abstract: Rapid progress has recently been made in endovascular treatment of the internal carotid artery, with little-invasive, new interventions often replacing, or facilitating, surgery. Treatments of aneurysms, tumoural embolisation and haemostasis are well established. Promising techniques for revascularisation (fibrinolysis, dilatation) are under evaluation. We discuss their interest and respective indications.
