    Abstract:
    Endovascular treatment of carotid artery stenosis is a valuable alternative to open surgery, and the evolution of stent materials and cerebral protection devices significantly decreased postoperative neurological complications. Among these, the introduction of nitinol double-layer micromesh stent seems to guarantee a reduced perioperative and postoperative cerebral embolization. Long-term results are however still not available to make a global evaluation of these stents. We present the case of a 66-year-old female patient treated for asymptomatic carotid stenosis complicated by a symptomatic partial stent thrombosis occurred three months after carotid artery stenting.
