(A) Angiography of the right carotid axis showing a significant lesion at the ostium of the internal carotid artery. (B) The lesion was suitable to use the Angioguard filter without predilatation. Once the filter was positioned and opened (magnified in panel C), direct stenting was undertaken with an Easy Wallstent 8.0 × 41 mm stent, postdilated with a 6.0 × 30 mm balloon at 6 atm (panel B). (D) Final angiography showed an optimal result. No debris was found in the filter once retrieved.
