    Author: Dieter RS, Ikram S, Satler LF, Babrowicz JC, Reddy B, Laird JR.
    Journal: Catheter Cardiovasc Interv; 2006 Jun; 67(6):972-5. PubMed ID: 16649241.
    Abstract:
    Carotid artery angioplasty and stenting has emerged as an effective strategy for the treatment of significant carotid artery stenosis. Perforation during carotid artery stenting is a very rare potential complication of the procedure. We describe a case of carotid artery perforation that occurred during postdilation of the carotid artery stent. In our case this potentially serious complication was successfully treated with a covered stent-graft.
