Abstract
A PATIENT WITH multiple extracranial internal carotid artery aneurysms that caused cerebral infarction was treated by endovascular placement of a metallic stent. Complete disappearance of the aneurysms was angi ographically confirmed within 15 weeks. Endovascular observation 6 mon ths after the stent placement revealed that the endoluminal surface wa s totally covered by normal endothelium. The patient returned to his r egular work routine and had no complication or neurological deteriorat ion during the 17-month follow-up period.
