We treated three patients with tandem internal carotid stenoses in single procedures including carotid endarterectomy (CEA) for the proximal stenosis and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) for the distal stenosis. We devised a Y-shaped shunt tube for the CEA, through which a balloon catheter was introduced to perform PTA guided by mobile digital subtraction angiography. No cerebrovascular events occurred during follow-up. Our approach avoids the risk of a second procedure while effectively treating tandem stenoses.

D015901 Angiography, Digital Subtraction A method of delineating blood vessels by subtracting a tissue background image from an image of tissue plus intravascular contrast material that attenuates the X-ray photons. The background image is determined from a digitized image taken a few moments before injection of the contrast material. The resulting angiogram is a high-contrast image of the vessel. This subtraction technique allows extraction of a high-intensity signal from the superimposed background information. The image is thus the result of the differential absorption of X-rays by different tissues. Digital Subtraction Angiography,Subtraction Angiography, Digital
D016893 Carotid Stenosis Narrowing or stricture of any part of the CAROTID ARTERIES, most often due to atherosclerotic plaque formation. Ulcerations may form in atherosclerotic plaques and induce THROMBUS formation. Platelet or cholesterol emboli may arise from stenotic carotid lesions and induce a TRANSIENT ISCHEMIC ATTACK; CEREBROVASCULAR ACCIDENT; or temporary blindness (AMAUROSIS FUGAX).
