Abstract

Restenosis after carotid artery stenting (CAS) has raised concerns regarding the long-term durability of carotid stenting. Recurrent restenosis after multiple endovascular interventions may pose a challenge for clinicians. We encountered two cases of intractable restenosis after redo-CAS, and performed carotid endarterectomy (CEA). We removed the embedded stent and plaque simultaneously, used the internal shunting system and performed patch angioplasty with no further recurrence. CEA could be considered as a first-line treatment for recurrent stenosis that proves refractory to multiple endovascular interventions.
