Abstract

We report an intracranial stenting procedure complicated by active bleeding from the femoral puncture site because of high arterial puncture. The patient was treated by placement of two PTIFE-covered self-expanding coronary stent-grafts. To our knowledge, there have been very few reports on stent-grafting of femoral artery in the literature. The low profile and flexibility of the coronary stent-graft enabled treatment via a six French sheath and 12th month patency is demonstrated with CT angiography.
