Although the common carotid artery is the second most common site for extracranial carotid artery stenosis, complete symptomatic occlusion in the absence of devastating stroke is rare. We present a case of complete common carotid artery occlusion failing medical management and requiring endovascular intervention. The clinical presentation, diagnostic investigations, and management of complete carotid artery occlusions are discussed.
尽管颈总动脉是颅外颈动脉狭窄的第二常见部位，但在没有严重中风的情况下出现完全症状性闭塞却很罕见。我们报告一例颈总动脉完全闭塞，经药物治疗无效而需进行血管内介入治疗的病例。本文讨论了颈动脉完全闭塞的临床表现、诊断检查及治疗方法。
