    Journal: Ann Vasc Surg; 2019 Feb; 55():310.e5-310.e8. PubMed ID: 30287296.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Successful treatment of tandem lesions of carotid arteries may represent a challenging goal for the vascular specialist. In the "endovascular era," a hybrid approach may represent a viable option. CASE REPORT: We describe the case of a 65-year-old patient with severe postcarotid endarterectomy recurrent stenosis of the internal carotid artery (ICA) associated with primitive stenosis of the proximal common carotid artery (CCA) treated with retrograde stenting and carotid bypass using the Gore Hybrid Vascular Graft (GHVG). CONCLUSIONS: We demonstrated the effectiveness of the hybrid technique using GHVG in treating carotid tandem lesions involving CCA and ICA.
