Tóm tắt

A wandering carotid artery is the rare phenomenon of the repeated migration of the carotid artery into the lateral and retropharyngeal spaces. We report a case of wandering carotid artery before and after carotid artery stenting (CAS). The patient was an 82-year-old female with symptomatic right internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis. A diagnostic digital subtraction angiography (DSA) showed that while the positional relationship between the internal and external carotid arteries was typical, the right ICA had moved medially into retropharyngeal space during CAS. Magnetic resonance angiography a day after CAS showed that the ICA had returned to its original position.
