Adjunct Use of a Self-Expanding Stent for Treatment of Intracranial Stenosis

We present a case of a patient who received adjunct treatment with a self-expanding stent after balloon dilatation of a symptomatic stenosis of the carotid siphon. After predilatation, complementary angioplasty with a balloon-expandable stent was abolished due to lack of compliance of the delivery system. Since the vascular anatomy allows for the passage of balloon systems only, the stenosis was further dilated and a self-expanding stent was delivered to avoid the risk of complications related to dissection and vessel recoil. However, problem of in-stent stenosis remains at the long-term follow-up period.
