Abstract

Pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication after carotid endarterectomy. Herein, we report a successful endovascular exclusion of a symptomatic carotid pseudoaneurysm occurred ten years after an eversion carotid endarterectomy by means of 2 overlapping micromesh stents (InspireMD C-Guard™) and balloon guide catheter (FlowGate² Balloon Guide Catheter) used as a proximal protection device.
