Abstract
A 60-yr-old woman with a history of right carotid artery endarterectomy (CEA) 4 yr ago and a repeat CEA 2 yr ago developed restenosis of the proximal and distal clamp sites requiring carotid stent 1 yr ago. She received a 6 x 20 mm Precise(tm) (Cordis, Warren, NJ) stent to the distal CEA site and an 8 x 20 mm Precise(tm) stent to the proximal CEA site. At the time of that intervention, the venous patch used for the CEA was noted to be mildly dilated and ectatic. She subsequently developed re-restenosis and a pulsatile mass in the right neck with compression of the right internal jugular artery 1 yr later.
