Description
István Szegedi, David Školoudík, and David Pakizer present a conference abstract on carotid web in older patients with carotid atherosclerosis. Their work is a later analysis of the ANTIQUE study, asking how common this shelf-like projection inside the carotid artery is after age fifty. It also asks what risk of stroke follows over ten years.
Three experienced sonographers rechecked ultrasound images and sorted the odd lesions into definite web, suspected web, plaque, or artifact. Among more than sixteen hundred patients, definite or suspected webs appeared in about four percent. Those patients had more strokes on the same side as the web than patients with ordinary plaque. Careful ultrasound reading, the authors argue, could sharpen stroke risk estimates.
