Abstract

Aim. Carotid artery stenting (CAS) is the treatment of choice for recurrent stenosis after carotid endarterectomy (CEA). However a significative incidence of in-stent restenosis could be occurred. Despite classical CEA leads to good results, in selective cases bypass graft may be the best treatment of in-stent restenosis. Case reports. We describe two cases of carotid bypass graft performed to treat a recurrent in-stent stenosis after CAS for post-CEA restenosis. No death and cardiac complication occurred and no cranial nerves impairment was detected. Conclusion. Prosthetic bypass graft is safe and effective in treatment of in-stent recurrent restenosis after CEA restenosis.
