    Carotid web (CaW) is a significant risk factor for ischemic stroke, particularly in the Chinese population, with a prevalence of 0.37% in this study.

  • 2

    The majority of CaWs were located at the common carotid artery bifurcation, and unilateral CaW was more common than bilateral.

  • 3

    Cerebral infarction was diagnosed in 61.8% of patients with CaW, with hypertension significantly more prevalent in this group.

  • 4

    The lumen diameter at the CaW site was significantly larger in patients with cerebral infarction compared to those without.

  • 5

    Mild stenosis (1%-30%) was the most common finding in CaW cases, emphasizing the need for careful CTA evaluation.
