This research investigates the relationship between contrast persistence on multiphase CT angiography and ischemic stroke risk in carotid webs.
Examined contrast persistence metrics on multiphase CT angiography (CTA).
Focused on patients with carotid webs.
Utilized preliminary findings to suggest further validation studies.
Indicated a potential link between contrast persistence and local stasis within carotid webs.
Highlighted the need for larger cohorts to confirm initial findings.
Abstract
These findings suggest that contrast persistence metrics on multiphase CTA may reflect local stasis within CWs; however, results are preliminary and warrant validation in larger cohorts.
