Carotid and Vertebral Dissections

June 16, 2022 | 2 p.m. MT

Carotid and vertebral dissections account for roughly 2% of ischemic strokes; however, when considering patients younger than 45 years, dissections are the etiology of up to 20% of all ischemic strokes. It is critical for any clinician caring for stroke patients to understand the diagnosis and management of carotid and vertebral dissection.

After the completion of this webinar the participant will be able to:

Explain the mechanism of stroke due to carotid and vertebral dissection
Describe the diagnosis and management of carotid and vertebral dissections in the acute care setting
Discuss the approach to post-acute management of dissections
