Figures

Figure 1.
Figure 1. Diagnostic cerebral angiogram (AP view) demonstrating critical left ICA stenosis associated with the dissection in the ascending cervical segment of the left ICA prior to balloon angioplasty and stenting (arrow). ICA: internal carotid artery; AP: anteroposterior.
Figure 2.
Figure 2. Diagnostic cerebral angiogram (AP view) following balloon angioplasty and stent placement in the ascending cervical segment of the left ICA, showing significantly improved contrast opacification of the artery (arrow). ICA: internal carotid artery; AP: anteroposterior.
Figure 3.
Figure 3. Head CT (axial view) exhibiting hypodensity within the left temporal lobe of the brain, consistent with the left M2 inferior division occlusion (thick arrow). The scan, performed less than 36 h out from the revascularization procedure, already demonstrates subtle midline shift and mass effect from the area of infarcted brain (thin arrow). CT: computed tomography.
