| Popis: | Here we describe a case of recurrent ischemic strokes due to fragile innominate artery plaque successfully treated using endovascular stent grafting. An 80-year-old man presented with a history of recurrent strokes that were refractory to medical treatment. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance images of the thorax revealed a gross intramural plaque in the innominate artery. He was successfully treated using endovascular stent grafting. An AFX stent graft device was used to prevent further embolic strokes. The AFX stent graft has a unique endoskeleton design with a thin-walled expanded polytetrafluoroethylene fabric-known as active sealing structure-attached to the implant. Postoperatively, the patient has experienced no recurrent strokes in over 2 years of follow-up. The stent grafting procedure could be an optimal treatment option for treating fragile innominate artery plaques. |
