Physician was attempting to place stent in right internal carotid artery.After stent was placed and completion angiogram was performed, it was discovered that the stent was inadvertently placed in the external carotid.The wire was re-positioned and a second self-expanding stent was placed.Completion angiogram showed good positioning of the stent in the internal carotid artery, but some residual indentation about bifurcation.Area was dilated with balloon catheter and final angiogram showed restored luminal diameter with no evidence of intimal dissection or extravasation.
