Pathologically Confirmed Symptomatic Carotid Webs: Histopathological Features and Long-Term Surgical Outcomes

This study supports CEA as a safe and effective therapeutic option for patients with symptomatic carotid webs and demonstrates its diagnostic value through direct histopathological confirmation. By presenting the largest pathologically validated series to date, our findings further define the vascular pathology underlying carotid webs and underscore the diagnostic value of surgical resection for definitive diagnosis.
