Novel Model Predicts Functional Neurological Independence in Stroke Patients Requiring Carotid Intervention
April 1, 2025
Carotid endarterectomy and carotid artery stenting are increasingly used in select acute carotid-related stroke patients as timely interventions—but can neurological functional independence be predicted in this high-risk group? Listen to Dr. Hernan Bazan discuss his recent Journal of the American College of Surgeons article on the use of a novel model that was able to predict functional neurologic independence with 93% accuracy in patients undergoing urgent carotid interventions for acute stroke.
