【 摘 要 】

BackgroundDistal embolic protection devices have been widely used to reduce the incidence of embolic events during carotid artery stenting. Entrapment of an embolic protection device is an extremely rare complication, and most cases are resolved by surgical removal.Case presentationA 67-year-old male underwent carotid artery stenting with an embolic protection device. During the procedure, the embolic protection filter became entrapped within the stent. The complication was resolved endovascularly without sequelae.ConclusionThe most important step in stenting is to be careful until the procedure is completed. However, if complications occur during the operation, in-depth knowledge of the catheters, wires, and devices will help the operator resolve the problem using endovascular techniques.
