Abstract :
Redilation of a stent appears a simple and safe procedure but complications do occur. A case is reported where redilation of a stent in the aorta crossing the subclavian artery was complicated by embolisation of neo-endothelium or peel into the vertebral artery, causing a cerebellar infarction.
