Received Date: November 23, 2018; Published Date: November 29, 2018
Abstract
This report is to emphasize the true existence of the rare phenomena of transient neurotoxic effect (encephalopathy) of the iodinated contrast after carotid angiography and stenting.
We describe an interesting case of a 91-year-old man with severe symptomatic left carotid subtotal stenosis with multiple comorbidities who developed a transient contrast induced encephalopathy shortly after carotid stenting and completely resolved within 24 hours.
