Anticoagulation strategy in patients with atrial fibrillation after carotid endarterectomy.
CONCLUSION: Combination of warfarin with an aim to keep the INR value between 2 and 3, and aspirin at a dosage of 100 mg per day seemed feasible and in our modest patient cohort. Further studies including multicenter larger data are warranted in order to establish a precise anticoagulation treatment protocol for patients with atrial fibrillation after carotid endarterectomy.
