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...

<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 cohorts.<h4>Patients & methods</h4>We performed a retrospective, observational, cohort study of acute ischemic stroke patients admitted to a comprehensive stroke center from June 2012 to September 2017. Carotid web was defined on computed tomography angiography (CTA) as a thin shelf of non-calcified tissue immediately distal to the carotid bifurcation.

An ipsilateral carotid web was detected in 4 out of 879 (0.45%) patients, of which 4/4 (1.6%) were in 244 patients with cryptogenic stroke and 3/4 were in 66 (4.5%) patients <60 years old with cryptogenic stroke.
