Abstract
We illustrate the technique of emergent removal of the thrombosed stent after CAS. If carotid stent thrombosis with no distal extension is documented post procedurally, emergency stent removal and endarterectomy is the preferred strategy. Special care should be taken to avoid risk of clot dislocation and consequent cerebral embolization during the surgical exposure of the carotid bifurcation and placement of the vascular clamps.
