Carotid artery stenting is gaining wider acceptance as an alternative option in the treatment of carotid artery stenosis. Conventional complications such as stroke and recurrent in-stent restenosis are well documented in the literature. However, we believe that carotid stent complications are underreported. The carotid artery segment has features that are relatively smilar to the femoropopliteal segment with respect to forces affecting the stented segment, which can contribute to stent complications such as fracture. In this article, we present a case of internal carotid artery stent fracture and thrombus formation after the patient was exposed to direct trauma to the chest and neck.
作为治疗颈动脉狭窄的一种替代选择，颈动脉支架置入术正获得更广泛的认可。诸如中风和支架内再狭窄复发等传统并发症在文献中有充分记载。然而，我们认为颈动脉支架并发症的报告不足。就影响支架置入段的力而言，颈动脉段具有与股腘段相对相似的特征，这可能导致诸如骨折等支架并发症。在本文中，我们报告了一例颈内动脉支架骨折并在患者胸部和颈部受到直接创伤后形成血栓的病例。
