Description
Sávio Batista and colleagues published a 2026 study scoring a neck artery abnormality linked to stroke. A carotid web is a thin shelf inside the artery. It can trigger strokes without warning signs. Shape features may predict which webs turn dangerous. Two stroke centers pooled their case database.
Over one hundred twenty webs were analyzed. Symptomatic and incidental cases were compared. Scans supplied angle, pocket, and length measures. A simple score was built from the strongest features. Discrimination testing checked its accuracy. A validated score could guide monitoring of harmless-looking webs. Surgery decisions might also become more consistent.
