title: [Internal carotid artery stent].
abstract: Stent implantation is a well established treatment of vascular stenoses if the result after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) is suboptimal, or as a primary treatment to reduce the number of restenoses. Carotid artery stents have only been used in a relatively limited number of cases up till now. The first Scandinavian case of a successful internal carotid artery stent implantation after suboptimal PTA with five months follow-up is presented.
