Prevention of Stroke with Closed-Cell Stent-in-Stent for Carotid Artery Stenosis Due to Stent Fracture.

Objective: Stent fracture is a risk factor for stroke. It has not been fully elucidated whether stent-in-stent procedures can effectively treat stent fractures.

Case Presentation: An 80-year-old man underwent carotid artery stenting (CAS) with an open-cell stent to treat asymptomatic right internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis.

A Case of Mechanical Thrombectomy for Acute Occlusion of the Left Internal Carotid Artery Later than 24 Hours after Onset.

Objective: Mechanical thrombectomy is performed on ischemic stroke patients with acute major cerebral artery occlusion within 24 hours of symptom onset. We report a case of delayed mechanical thrombectomy for acute left internal carotid artery occlusion.

Case Presentation: A 76-year-old woman suddenly presented with dysarthria and right hemiparesis was admitted to her previous hospital.

Acute subdural hematoma originating from the lacerated intracranial internal carotid arteries--case report.

A 51-year-old male presented with laceration of the bilateral intracranial internal carotid arteries (ICAs) manifesting as acute subdural hematoma (SDH) after a fall of 3 m. Brain computed tomography showed acute SDH appearing as irregular mixed high and low density and causing midline shift. During the operation, massive liquiform hematoma flowed out from the deep portion around the cranial base and systemic blood pressure decreased abruptly.
