Abstract
The use of overlapping stents in the carotid artery is a predisposing factor for AcuteCST. Prognostic factors of this potentially devastating complication are the initial clinical presentation expressing the grade of ischemic brain damage, the accurate and timely recognition of the thrombosis, and the prompt restoration of oxygenated blood flow into the viable tissue at risk of infarction.
