2016
Background Carotid revascularization is performed to prevent stroke. Carotid tandem lesions represent a challenge for treatment, and a hybrid approach may result effective. Case Report A high-risk 65-year-old woman presented with a “tandem lesion” of left common and internal carotid artery. She was deemed unfit for “simple” standard carotid endarterectomy (CEA). A “single-step” safe hybrid procedure was scheduled for the patient. A “Cormier” carotid vein graft bypass with a retrograde stenting was performed under local anesthesia. Conclusions The “safe hybrid procedure” for tandem lesions of the common and internal carotid artery is effective and suitable in high-risk patients in a high-volume centers.
