Abstract
Case presentation A 78‐year‐old man with a mobile lesion was diagnosed with thrombus using carotid ultrasonography, but the lesion was not completely resolved with dual antiplatelet and anticoagulation therapy. Direct visualization by angioscopy showed a white mobile plaque. The carotid artery was stented with a double‐layered stent, as the plaque persisted despite continuing the medical treatment and was linked to an increased risk of cerebral embolism. The plaque was attached to the arterial wall, and it subsequently disappeared. The patient recovered well and no further emboli were observed. Conclusions Angioscopy is effective for identifying lesions under direct vision. The characteristics and dynamics of plaques may be viewed via angioscopy, which aids in making treatment‐related decisions, particularly in the case of carotid artery plaques.
