Carotid webs in large vessel occlusion stroke: Clinical, radiological and thrombus histopathological findings

Carotid webs are an under-recognized embolic source in patients with cryptogenic stroke. Limited resources currently exist to assist clinicians in stroke prevention for patients with symptomatic carotid webs (SCW). We aimed at analysing the clinical, radiological and procedural features of stroke patients with SCW undergoing endovascular thrombectomy (EVT), and to describe the histopathological composition of their occlusive thrombi.
