What is the evidence for the use of stenting for carotid web?
A multicenter study by Haussen et al. (2018) demonstrated that stenting is an effective treatment for symptomatic carotid web. This study included patients with carotid web who had experienced an acute ischemic stroke, and found that stenting was associated with improved outcomes, including decreased risk of stroke recurrence. In addition, a systematic literature review by Zhang et al. (2018) found that stenting was associated with improved outcomes in patients with carotid web and acute ischemic stroke. Finally, a case-control study by Coutinho et al. (2018) also found that stenting was associated with improved outcomes for patients with carotid web and acute ischemic stroke. These studies provide evidence of the efficacy of stenting for carotid web.
