[Severe tachycardiomyopathy and thrombus in the left atrial appendage--a case report].

abstract：BACKGROUND:Carotid artery stenting (CAS) has become an alternative for carotid endarterectomy in the treatment of carotid artery atherosclerosis, due to limited injury and comparable periprocedural risk. The impact of coronary artery disease (CAD) on long-term follow-up after CAS needs to be reconsidered due to the int...
