Endovascular stent placement for multiple aneurysms of the extracranial internal carotid artery: technical case report.
A patient with multiple extracranial internal carotid artery aneurysms that caused cerebral infarction was treated by endovascular placement of a metallic stent. Complete disappearance of the aneurysms was angiographically confirmed within 15 weeks. Endovascular observation 6 months after the stent placement revealed that the endoluminal surface was totally covered by normal endothelium. The patient returned to his regular work routine and had no complication or neurological deterioration during the 17-month follow-up period.
