AB A patient with a symptomatic petrous carotid artery stenosis underwent balloon angioplasty, which was complicated by a flow-limiting dissection. The problem was resolved by deploying a balloon-expandable coronary stent. The patient suffered no neurologic deficit, was discharged within 12 hours, and was asymptomatic at last follow-up, 5 months after the procedure, without warfarin therapy. This therapeutic option may prove useful as a means to correct endovascular procedural complications.
