Abstract：Antiphospholipid syndrome(APS)is a rare autoimmune disease with high thrombosis risk.The optimal treatment for non-acute cerebral arterial occlusion in APS patients is still unclear.A case of APS patient with non-acute occlusion of the carotid artery with drug-coated balloon(DCB)angioplasty for recanalization was reported.The patient had vessel patency at 7-month follow-up by digital subtraction angiography.The DCB has the advantage of no stent implantation and can reduce the risk of restenosis,making it more beneficial for such high thrombosis risk patients.
