Quantifying Cerebral Collaterals In Carotid Artery Dissection May Help Stratify Stroke Risk. (P3.110)

Further controlled, prospective study in a larger and more diverse sample is warranted.Study Supported by: AHA/ASA NCRP 13CRP14140001Disclosure: Dr. Southerland has received personal compensation in an editorial capacity for Neurology Podcast.
