This 46 years old patient presented with repeated episodes of giddiness and transient limb weakness (called as transient Ischemic attacks). He was hypertensive, diabetic and heavy smoker. The carotid angiography showed severe stenosis of the internal carotid artery at its origin causing compromise of brain circulation. The patient preferred carotid stenting over open surgery.
Following successful carotid stenting by our interventional neuroradiologist, patient made uneventful recovery. His symptoms disappeared completely. In addition, he needed complete change in the lifestyle.
