ResumoCarotid artery dissection accounts for 20%–30% of all ischemic strokes in young patients aged <50 years. Recent guidelines on carotid disease management do not differentiate between traumatic and spontaneous dissection. We present a case of a 36-year-old male patient with the right internal carotid artery dissection treated with two XACT Abbot 6–8 mm × 40 mm stents placement after he was strangled during Krav Maga training. It is the most effective way to prevent the imminent stroke in the penumbral region. The safety and outcome of stent placement in internal carotid artery dissection remains unclear and further randomized trials are needed.
