(A) Preprocedural digital subtraction angiography (DSA) shows stenosis of the proximal internal carotid artery (the diameter of the common carotid artery is 7.8 mm and the diameter of the internal carotid artery distal to the stenosis is 3.8 mm); (B) The Carotid Wallstent (7 × 30 mm) is positioned across the stenosis before releasing; (C) The Carotid Wallstent has been released and is well located; (D) Ten months postprocedure, the Wallstent has shortened and shifted to the common carotid artery.
