| Summary: | Sick sinus syndrome represent one of the cardiac arrhythmias which may cause ischemic stroke by hemodynamic or thrombo-embolic mechanism, often these two mechanisms coexist and potentiate each other. We present the case of the 65 years old male admitted to our clinic for an acute ischemic stoke in the right carotid territory. The Doppler ultrasonography of the cervico-cerebral arteries performed the next day after the admission showed occlusion of the right internal carotid artery. The patient was transferred to the cardiology clinic where he underwent a DDDR pace-maker implantation. The ultrasonographical exam performed one week later showed repermeabilisation of the right internal carotid artery. |
