Summary:Stent implantation was performed on two patients to treat chronic dissecting aneurysms of the upper cervical internal carotid artery. Treatment was decided because of the youth of the patients, their medical history of subarachnoid hemorrhage, and the angiographic findings associated with the dissection. Normal arteriographic morphology was obtained after deployment of a single self-expandable stent.
