Carotid angioplasty and stenting (CAS) for carotid stenosis has been increasingly used as an alternative treatment in patients not eligible for surgery. Even though CAS can be performed relatively simply in many cases, various complications can occur. We report four cases of CAS using the Carotid Wallstent, which were complicated by delayed shortening of the stent, resulting in restenosis after successful CAS.
对于颈动脉狭窄患者,颈动脉血管成形术和支架置入术(CAS)作为一种替代治疗方法,越来越多地应用于不适合手术的患者。尽管在许多情况下CAS操作相对简单,但仍可能发生各种并发症。我们报告了4例使用颈动脉Wallstent支架的CAS病例,这些病例均出现了支架延迟缩短的并发症,导致CAS成功后发生再狭窄。
