What is the optimal management for patients with AF and carotid stenosis not requiring revascularisation?
The optimal management for patients with AF and carotid stenosis not requiring revascularisation is not known and requires further randomized data. Meanwhile, decisions need to be tailored to the individual patient. Current practice is to treat all potential stroke risk factors including AF and carotid stenosis. OAC therapy without long-term antiplatelet therapy is suggested for patients with AF and carotid stenosis treated with revascularization.
