Carotid web catheter angiography hemodynamic parameters.

Background: Carotid web (CaW)-related contrast stagnation on digital subtraction angiography (DSA) may be a marker supporting the pathophysiological theory of stasis and thrombosis/embolization. We aim to assess the correlation between DSA hemodynamic parameters with CT angiography (CTA) structural measurements and clinical characteristics.

Methods: Cross-sectional analysis of consecutive patients with CaW who underwent CTA+DSA.

Carotid web: an under-recognized and misdiagnosed ischemic stroke etiology.

Background: Carotid web (CaW) constitutes a possible cause of ischemic stroke, particularly large vessel occlusion syndromes. We aim to evaluate misdiagnosis rates and diagnosis trends for CaW.

Methods: Based on CT angiography (CTA), we prospectively identified a cohort of patients with symptomatic CaW treated at two comprehensive stroke centers (CSC) from 2014 to 2020 to assess misdiagnosis.
