Carotid angioplasty and stenting has become a valuable alternative treatment for carotid endarterectomy. However, several complications can occur during this high‐risk procedure. We describe a case of carotid stent procedure during carotid angioplasty in a 70‐year‐old man. Management of this complication with an overview of current literature is discussed. © 2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
