Abstract
Evaluation of stroke etiology is an important aspect of stroke care affecting secondary prevention measures. Despite recent advances in diagnostic testing, determining the stroke etiology can remain a challenging task particularly for less common causes of stroke such as mitral annular calcification. This case will review the benefit of histopathologic clot evaluation after thrombectomy to identify uncommon causes of embolic stroke which may change management.
