Progress on diagnosis and treatment of carotid free ⁃ floating thrombous related ischemic stroke

Carotid free⁃floating thrombus (CFFT) is significantly associated with ischemic stroke. Thrombosis occludes the artery or falls off, leading to massive cerebral infarction or multiple embolism. In severe cases, cerebral hernia or even death may occur. The diagnosis of CFFT is gradually based on CT a...

description Carotid free⁃floating thrombus (CFFT) is significantly associated with ischemic stroke. Thrombosis occludes the artery or falls off, leading to massive cerebral infarction or multiple embolism. In severe cases, cerebral hernia or even death may occur. The diagnosis of CFFT is gradually based on CT angiography (CTA). Early identification can help in etiological treatment. This article reviews the progress of the diagnosis and treatment of CFFT, in order to improve chinical diagnosis and treatment.
