Carotid Artery Pseudoaneurysm as a Complication of Carotid Artery Stenting

Carotid artery stenting has been adopted more in the treatment of carotid artery stenosis recently. The vast majority of studies about this procedure have concentrated mainly on the short and long-term clinical complications, i.e. stroke, myocardial infarction, and re-stenosis. However, mechanical complications including both stent fracture and carotid pseudoaneurysm are under-reported. In the current report, we present a patient with a common carotid artery psueodoaneurysm as a complication of carotid artery stenting.
