Description
Crista E Horton leads a team describing, in 2026, a 75-year-old man who had repeated strokes from severe narrowing in two places in his carotid artery. One blockage sat in the neck and the other inside the skull. His aortic arch also made the usual route through the leg risky.
Surgeons instead entered through the neck artery itself, using flow reversal for protection. Through that single entry they opened both narrowed spots and placed stents. Later scans showed good flow and less than half the neck narrowing left. The man had no new stroke signs, showing one-session treatment can suit selected high-risk patients.
