Ipsilateral internal carotid artery web and acute ischemic stroke: A cohort study, systematic review and meta-analysis.

<h4>Introduction</h4>The carotid web is a compelling potential mechanism of embolic ischemic stroke. In this study, we aim to determine the prevalence of ipsilateral carotid web in a cohort of ischemic stroke patients and to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of similar cohort...
