Treatment for symptomatic extracranial carotid artery aneurysm is evolving and we describe two cases of successful endovascular treatment of distal internal carotid aneurysm using Jostent, a balloon-expandable coronary polytetrafluoroethylene-covered stent. Both patients remained symptom-free at 1 year after the procedure and patency of the stents was maintained. We conclude that endovascular treatment of carotid artery aneurysm with Jostent is feasible and safe and may be more preferable than conventional strategies.
