Abstract :
Stroke is the second cause of death in the world and 20-30% were caused by carotid artery stenosis. Today carotid artery stenting isemergency treatment of choice for carotid artery stenosis. The technique and management of the complication has beenstandardized. We report a 80-year old woman with syncope (neurology diagnosis was TIA) and history of past illness were diabetes,hypertension, and CAD. CT scan was normal. USG Doppler showed right carotid artery stenosis. Right carotid angiography showedstenosis more than 90%. We performed distal protection device, predilation and stenting with wall stent in right carotid artery. Noresidual stenosis was found. During stenting there were bradicardy and hypotension due to stent compression in carotid artery. Noneurologic deficit was found. In 2-month follow-up there was no complaint. (FMI 2014;50:265-269)
