Hypothesis-generating for stenting in recurrent carotid stenosis; should not change practice without controlled trials.
Case Report (n=1)
Intraluminal stenting following balloon dilation may be a feasible and safe alternative to redo carotid endarterectomy for recurrent carotid disease.
Diethrich et al. (1995) conducted a case report in Recurrent carotid artery occlusive disease (n=1). Intraluminal Palmaz Stent Implantation was evaluated on Procedural complications and symptomatic status. Intraluminal Palmaz stent implantation was successfully performed without complications in a patient with recurrent carotid disease, who remained asymptomatic at 15 months.
