Pregnancy and stroke risk after artery dissection
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at women who had a cervical artery dissection (a tear in a neck artery) and later became pregnant. It wants to see if pregnancy raises the risk of another dissection or stroke.
