The authors report the case of a 68-year-old male who underwent emergency stenting for iatrogenicocclusion of the internal carotid artery while he was receiving percutaneous transluminal angioplasty. Hepresented with a 1-month history of transient ischemic attacks with right-sided hemiparesis. Carotidangiography revealed a 95% eccentric stenosis at the origin of the left internal carotid artery. As the steno-tic lesion was higher than the level of the third cervical vertebral body, percutaneous transluminal angio-plasty was performed instead of carotid endarterectomy. During the procedure, the left internal carotidartery was dissected, then obstructed completely with rapid deterioration of his neurological condition. ThePalmaz-Schatz stent was successfully deployed over the site of dissection to restore normal patencythrough the dissected carotid artery. Following emergency stenting, his neurological signs quickly sub-sided. Since then, with oral administration of antiplatelet medication, he has suffered no recurrence of cere-bral ischemic events. Echo-ultrasonography 4 months after stent implantation showed good patency of thestented segment.

It has been reported that angioplasty is indicated for high-risk patients or surgically inaccessible lesionsin stenotic disorders of the internal carotid artery. However, there are several complications reported, in-cluding intimal dissection and restenosis. The present case emphasizes the usefulness of emergency stent-ing when occlusion of the internal carotid artery is complicated (luring percutaneous transluminal angio-plasty.
