Abstract
We treated three patients with tandem internal carotid stenoses in single procedures including carotid endarterectomy (CEA) for the proximal stenosis and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) for the distal stenosis. We devised a Y-shaped shunt tube for the CEA, through which a balloon catheter was introduced to perform PTA guided by mobile digital subtraction angiography. No cerebrovascular events occurred during follow-up. Our approach avoids the risk of a second procedure while effectively treating tandem stenoses.Keywords
