It was reported that after the completion of a transcarotid artery revascularization (tcar) procedure, the patient was complaining of a headache.A computerized tomography scan (ct scan) was performed and revealed the patient experienced filling defect in the ipsilateral cavernous internal carotid artery consistent with a foreign body being present.The patient was transferred to a different hospital where neurosurgery attempted to remove the foreign body via transfemoral approach.On attempts to remove the object, the object inadvertently embolized to the profunda femorous artery, where further attempts to retrieve it were not made.In this position, the foreign body is unlikely to contribute to clinical sequelae.The patient was reported to be well, and without neurological deficit.
