Abstract
A 69-yr-old man had chronic transient ischemia attacks due to severe s tenosis of the intracranial portion of the right carotid artery. After failure of both antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapy, treatment was successful with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and a coronary Palmaz-Schatz stent. Use of the stent led to a better angiographic res ult than angioplasty alone. The patient is asymptomatic 4 mo later. (C ) 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
