Atheromatous obstructive lesions of the arch vessels that contain thrombi are at high risk for distal embolization during angioplasty. This can lead to catastrophic neurological complications.

After placement of an intravascular filter device, angioplasty and stent implantation successfully relieved the stenosis without any complications.
