Assessment of Recurrent Stroke Risk in Patients With a Carotid Web.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

A carotid web (CW) is a shelf-like lesion along the posterior wall of the internal carotid artery bulb and an underrecognized cause of young stroke. Several studies suggest that patients with symptomatic CW have a high risk of recurrent stroke, but high-quality data are lacking.

Objective

To assess the 2-year risk of recurrent stroke in patients with a symptomatic CW.

Design, setting, and participants

A comparative cohort study used data from the MR CLEAN trial (from 2010-2014) and MR CLEAN Registry (from 2014-2017). Data were analyzed in September 2020.

Baseline data were from 34
