SUMMARY: A 69-year-old woman had a symptomatic cervical carotid stenosis coupled with a coincidental unruptured cerebral aneurysm in the carotid distal segment. She underwent endovascular coiling for the aneurysm and then carotid stent placement (CAS) 1 month later. Both lesions were treated successfully and neither complications nor strokes occurred after the procedures. Staged endovascular treatment of coiling and subsequent CAS may be safe for patients with a cervical carotid stenosis coupled with cerebral aneurysms.
