E-093 Carotid webs and stroke: a comprehensive overview of clinical characteristics, risk factors, and treatment modalities

ConclusionThis is the largest systematic review of CWs to date. This study provides novel information not only about risk factors and common treatment modalities for CWs, but also the relationship between CWs and stroke. This data may aid physicians in diagnosis of CWs in younger patients who present with stroke-like symptoms and no cardiovascular risk factors. Furthermore, medical treatment alone may not be as effective as stenting or surgical options.Disclosures N. Gupta: None. V. Kasulla: None. A. Shahbandi: None. J. Gendreau: None. R. Singh: None. N.
