[Vascular reconstruction of tandem stenoses of the internal carotid artery].
We report a case treated successfully by carotid endarterectomy combined with endovascular stenting for tandem stenoses of the internal carotid artery. A 71-year-old man had tandem stenotic lesions affecting bifurcation and the petrous portion of the left internal carotid artery. Coronary stents were placed at the petrous portion of the internal carotid artery immediately after standard carotid endarterectomy. Endvascular techniques and surgery can be complementary in the management of patients suffering from such tandem lesions.
