Patient 1.

A, Right carotid angiogram shows a ruptured carotid artery in the bifurcation (vertical arrows) and an active jet of extravasation (arrowheads) through a focal skin defect on the right side of the neck during the injection of contrast medium. Obvious long-segmental stenosis of the cervical ICA was also found (horizontal arrows).

B, After the deployment of an 8 × 50-mm stent from the ICA to the CCA, acute thrombosis with total occlusion of the carotid artery occurred immediately.
