FIG 5. Dissection caused by occlusion balloon in a 79-year-old man.
A, Right carotid angiogram shows near occlusion of the ICA.
B, Angiogram shows that the temporary occlusion balloon is inflated. Predilation was performed with a 4 x 40-mm balloon.
C, Follow-up angiogram obtained after carotid artery stent placement shows significant dissection at the level of the previously placed occlusion balloon. Satisfactory result of carotid artery stent placement with a 9 x 30-mm stent (Medtronic AVE).
D, Follow-up angiogram after placement of a 4 x 23-mm coronary stent in the dissected segment of the ICA.
