Splice implantation of multiple drug-eluting stents for tandem severe stenosis of the internal carotid artery: A case report

Severe stenosis of the internal carotid artery tandem affects the blood supply to the brain and threatens human life, which can be solved by interventional procedures. A 64-year-old male patient presented with a sudden onset of dizziness, palpitation, numbness, and weakness of the limbs. Imaging studies suggested multiple tandem severe stenoses from the left internal carotid artery contrast C2 to C4. Severe stenosis of the left internal carotid tandem. Multiple drug-eluting stent splicing and implantation were performed. The left internal carotid artery stenosis was released, intracranial vascular filling was significantly improved, and the patient recovered well. Interventional implantation of multiple drug-eluting stents relieves tandem severe stenosis of the internal carotid artery, with a wide range of applicability, high safety profile, and rapid postoperative recovery compared with endothelial debridement procedures.
