Article Synopsis
- The study looked at strokes caused by a neck problem called carotid artery web (CaW) in young patients, who often don't have typical stroke risk factors.
- Researchers used a score called RoPE to see how many patients had high-risk profiles related to CaW, and found that many had high scores.
- The results suggest that doctors need to look for CaW in stroke patients, even if they have a condition called patent foramen ovale (PFO), to figure out the real cause of their strokes.
Background: Carotid free-floating thrombus (CFT) is a rare cause of stroke describing an intraluminal thrombus that is loosely associated with the arterial wall and manifesting as a filling defect fully surrounded by flow on vascular imaging. Unfortunately, there is no clear consensus among experts on the ideal treatment for this pathology.
Methods: Retrospective analysis of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and transient ischemic attack (TIA) patients diagnosed with CFT on computed tomography angiogram (CTA) between January 2015-March 2023.
Introduction: Carotid Web (CaW) is an increasingly recognized etiology of ischemic stroke, and has been shown to be amenable to endovascular stenting. The technical complexity of stenting for CaW may be lower than for carotid atherosclerotic disease (CAD). We aimed to assess procedural characteristics of stenting for CaW as compared to CAD.

Methods: For this prospective, single-center pre-post educational intervention study, the Angoff standard setting method was used to determine a Minimum Passing Score (MPS) and Mastery Score for 2 AIS simulations.
Background: Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) with subsequent immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) is a rare disease associated with compromised immune systems. It has never been described in a patient taking tofacitinib.
Case Presentation: A 49-year-old woman with history of systemic lupus erythematous treated with tofacitinib presented with several weeks of intermittent fevers and altered mental status.
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.
Background: The association of carotid webs (CaW) and ischemic stroke is being increasingly recognized. Data on the histologic clot architecture in strokes caused by CaW has not been previously described. Understanding thrombi histopathology may provide insight into the pathophysiology of CaW-related strokes.
