AANS/CNS Cerebrovascular Section, Question and Answer Session

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the panelists discuss various aspects of imaging and predicting risk in patients with asymptomatic carotid stenosis. They mention using MR and CT scans to assess plaque morphology, as well as other imaging techniques such as platypomphology and TCDs. They also discuss the need for standardizing the definition of plaque morphology and the potential selection bias in clinical trials. The panelists touch on the importance of assessing cognitive decline in these patients and the use of CT perfusion studies for high-risk cases. Overall, they emphasize the need for individualized approaches and ongoing research in this field.
