Disparities in Access to Vascular Stroke Imaging and Carotid Revascularization: A Population Study
Despite increasing utilization of neurovascular imaging, patients who are female, older, rural, or with minor stroke/TIA remain less likely to receive neurovascular imaging, with expected implications for receiving carotid revascularization. Female patients are less likely to undergo carotid revascularization even after accounting for receipt of imaging.
