Description

<p>A 54-year-old man was referred to our hospital due to asymptomatic carotid web (CW), which was noted during a neurological evaluation. He was an otherwise healthy patient with no past medical history. The stenosis was severe, and we performed carotid artery stenting (CAS) at the request of the patient. There were no complications from the operation, and the postoperative course was uneventful. CW is a shelf-like projection located in the posterior wall of the proximal internal carotid artery and is recognized as a cause of ischemic stroke. Symptomatic lesions are often resistant to medical treatment, and carotid revascularization (CR) is considered as a treatment option. However, almost no asymptomatic cases treated with CR has been reported. CAS is less invasive even for asymptomatic CW; thus, it might be an effective treatment option.</p>
