Carotid endarterectomy for acute carotid thrombosis after carotid artery stenting with CASPER Rx® stent: A case report

ABSTRACT:

Background:

Acute carotid stent thrombosis (ACST) is a rare but devastating complication for carotid artery stenting (CAS). That requires early diagnosis and immediate treatment.
