Abstract
Carotid artery stenting (CAS) has evolved as a minimally invasive alternative to carotid endarterectomy, particularly among patients with prior neck surgery or external beam radiation for malignancy. Restenosis after CAS remains low yet is typically due to neointimal hyperplasia and manifests within the first 2 years after stent placement. We present an unusual case of carotid artery stenosis 18 months after angioplasty and stenting as a result of recurrent malignancy, which was treated with repeat stent placement.
