Abstract：
PURPOSE AND SETTING:To describe the prevalence and risk factors for carotid stenosis in TIA/stroke patients with non valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) and to compare clinical and CT characteristics of TIA/stroke in AF patients with and without carotid stenosis. SUBJECTS:50 TIA/stroke patients with AF who had ultrasound investigation of the extracranial vessels, included in a prospective hospitalar registry. RESULTS:Twenty-two patients had some degree of carotid stenosis, but only 5 had more than 50% stenosis, including one with occlusion. Stenosis was neither more frequent nor more severe on the symptomatic side. Smokers were significantly more frequent in AF patients with > 50% stenosis. Clinical and CT features were quite similar in patients with and without carotid stenosis. CONCLUSION:The association in a TIA/Stroke patient of AF and severe carotid stenosis on the symptomatic side is exceptional. TIA/strokes related to carotid stenosis cannot be identified by their clinical/CT characteristics. Management of these patients must be decided by stratification of risk of recurrence for AF and from carotid stenosis and balance of these risks with that of endarterectomy.
