title: [Pseudo aneurysm in arteria carotis interna treated with stent].
abstract: Extracranial internal carotid artery aneurysms (EACIAs) are rare. Untreated they have a high stroke rate. Traditionally the treatment has been surgery or endovascular intervention with coils. Both are associated with relatively high complication rates. Another treatment option is endovascular intervention with covered stent, which provides one-step closure of the aneurysm. As in the case story it can be complicated with in-stent occlusion. Therefore we recommend balloon occlusion test before treatment of EACIAs with covered stent.
