Objective: We examined the effectiveness of 3D variable refocusing flip angle turbo spin echo (3D VRFA TSE) in the evaluation of restenosis after carotid artery stenting. Case Presentation: We examined 23 patients who underwent carotid artery stenting at our hospital. In all cases, in-stent lumen observation by the 3D VRFA TSE after stenting was possible. In-stent restenosis was observed in 5 cases, and the restenosis site was well visualized in all cases. The three representative cases are presented with images. Conclusion: The 3D VRFA TSE is effective as a follow-up to restenosis after carotid artery stenting.
