title: [Composed angioplasty of the multilevel right common and internal carotid artery stenoses with implantation stents with used of proximal and distal protection system].
abstract: We present a case of a 73 year-old man with, long-segment thigh stenosis in the right common and internal carotid artery with occlusion left common carotid artery. Complex angioplasty with modification proximal and distal system protection was successful performed. There were no procedure-related complications. We concluded that in very complex, multilevel lesions in carotid artery, there is a place for safe double system protection. This maneuver can increase safe of the carotid artery stenting and minimise potential complications.
