Patient 3. Left carotid angiograms. A, Pseudoaneurysm in the cervical ICA (arrow). B, Soon after a 7 × 30-mm stent was deployed in the cervical ICA, acute thrombosis was noted in the stent and its distal end (arrowheads). C, Acute thrombosis was lysed in 10 minutes by using an intravenous antiplatelet agent. D, Rebleeding due to a pseudoaneurysm in the carotid bulb was found 3 weeks later; the lesion (arrow) was just proximal to the first stent. E, A 9 × 50-mm stent was deployed in the carotid artery, which stopped the bleeding. F, Follow-up left carotid angiogram shows preserved carotid artery and complete obliteration of the pathologic lesion 1 week later. G, Six months later, axial contrast-enhanced CT scan of the neck shows thrombosis of the left carotid artery (arrow).
