Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main"> <title>ABSTRACT</title> <p>Carotid artery dissection is a rare but potentially serious complication of endovascular procedures in the carotid arteries. Stent deformation or incomplete expansion may occur following endovascular repair of an iatrogenic carotid artery dissection and may mimic stent fracture. We report an unusual case of deformation of a common carotid artery open cell design stent following endovascular repair of an iatrogenic dissection, which resulted in persistent blood flow between the stent and the wall of the common carotid artery. Sonographic features are described and correlation with intravascular ultrasound and CT is provided. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. <italic>J Clin Ultrasound</italic><bold>42</bold>:313–317, 2014</p> </abstract>
