Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the causes of ischaemic stroke in patients with symptomatic carotid near occlusion, focusing on whether an embolic or haemodynamic mechanism is responsible.
- Researchers compared the occurrence of microembolic signals (MES) in patients with symptomatic near occlusion, symptomatic conventional ≥ 50% stenosis, and asymptomatic ≥ 50% stenosis to determine the differences.
- Findings revealed that MES incidence was significantly higher in symptomatic near occlusion patients compared to both symptomatic conventional stenosis and asymptomatic cases, suggesting a potential link to increased embolic activity.
