Overview

Retrospective analysis identifies morphologic features of carotid webs linked to ischemic stroke risk in adults, suggesting new risk factors.

Key Points

  • This research aims to investigate the morphological characteristics of carotid webs and their association with the risk of ischemic stroke.
  • Retrospective review of CT angiography imaging reports from two health systems.
  • Inclusion of adults with identified carotid webs, and analysis excluded previous interventions on the same artery.
  • Morphological features were independently measured by two blinded raters, including web length, thickness, base width, and more.
  • Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify associations with symptomatic status.
  • A total of 229 carotid webs were identified, with 24 classified as symptomatic (11.2%).
  • Symptomatic webs were significantly longer (median 2.9 mm) and thicker (1.6 mm) compared to asymptomatic webs (median 2.3 mm and 1.2 mm, respectively).
  • Length of the carotid web was the only feature independently associated with symptomatic status (OR: 1.57 per mm).
