[ Air embolism during carotid dilatation with a stent].
We presented the case of endovascular treatment of the restenosis of the carotid artery occuring after carotid endarterectomy. We have shown the need of applying the protection systems during the endovascular procedure, in order to prevent the distal embolisation cused by ahterosclerotic debris and/or air.
