Abstract
As a non-atherosclerotic disease in the extracranial segment of the carotid artery, carotid web is a ridge-like intraluminal protrusion beyond the bifurcation of the posterior wall of the carotid artery bulb. Carotid web also has been referred to as an atypical variant of fibromuscular dysplasia. In recent years, more and more studies indicate that carotid web is a rare but important risk factor for ischemic stroke. In order to accurately diagnose carotid artery web, implement targeted intervention and treatment for ischemic stroke caused by carotid web, the authors summarized the recent advances in carotid web and ischemic stroke. Key words: Carotid web; Ischemic stroke; Cryptogenic stroke
