It was reported that a fred 4508 stent was deployed to treat an internal carotid artery (ica) aneurysm.The patient was pretreated with a regimen of aspirin and clopidogrel starting five days prior to treatment.After deployment and detachment, the fred4508 stent foreshortened distally and the aneurysm was not completely covered.It was decided to use a second fred stent to cover the distal part of the aneurysm.During insertion of the microcatheter, the patient showed an ica occlusion and intravenous integrilin was administered.After a few minutes, all vessels were open and a remodeling balloon was used inside of the first fred 4508 stent.During the inflation of the balloon, an incomplete opening in the curve was visible.The second fred stent was then deployed.Dyna-ct at the end showed no vessel occlusions.
