Concomitant intracranial aneurysm and carotid artery stenosis: A therapeutic dilemma.
Concurrent occurrence of carotid artery stenosis and intracerebral aneurysm is uncommon and poses a therapeutic dilemma. We report a patient with bilateral carotid artery stenosis and a 2.5 cm left middle cerebral artery aneurysm who simultaneously underwent a successful stent-assisted coiling for his intracerebral aneurysm and left carotid artery angioplasty with stenting during the same setting.
