Carotid dissection is under-recognized as a cause of Horner syndrome and can be missed [5].
Dissection of medial rings, mounting and determination of the optimum length for stress development at 37°C was performed as described [ 21 ] . The carotid "ring" preparation differs in the method of mounting from our prior heat study which employed carotid "strips" [ 14 ] . The mounting procedure, rings vs. strips does not alter the behavior of the carotid media in tissue baths.
An alternative approach would be to study an intermediate phenotype, such as carotid atherosclerosis, with the hope that alleles underlying this phenotype play a role in the etiology of the stroke itself.

However, using carotid atherosclerosis as an intermediate phenotype for ischemic stroke also has limitations.
