All were initially treated using anticoagulation with or without antiplatelet drugs. Eight of these patients had no or only mild carotid artery stenosis on initial angiography and were treated with medical management alone. The remaining 16 patients had moderate or severe carotid stenosis on initial angiography; of these, 10 underwent delayed revascularization (8 patients, carotid endarterectomy [CEA]; 2 patients, angioplasty and stenting), 2 refused revascularization, and 4 were treated with medical therapy alone. One patient had multiple TIAs despite medical therapy and eventually underwent CEA; the remaining 23 patients had no TIAs after treatment. No patient suffered ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke while on anticoagulation therapy, either during the perioperative period or in the long-term follow-up; 1 patient died of an unrelated condition. The mean follow-up was 16.4 months.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n Results of this study suggest that initial anticoagulation for symptomatic ICAT leads to a low rate of recurrent ischemic events and that carotid revascularization, if indicated, can be safely performed in a delayed manner.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3171\/2012.9.jns12406","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,10,12]],"date-time":"2012-10-12T10:06:18Z","timestamp":1350036378000},"page":"34-41","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":54,"title":["Symptomatic patients with intraluminal carotid artery thrombus: outcome with a strategy of initial anticoagulation"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"118","author":[{"given":"Ananth K.","family":"Vellimana","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Neurological Surgery and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yasha","family":"Kadkhodayan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology, Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Keith M.","family":"Rich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Neurological Surgery and"},{"name":"Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology, Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"DeWitte T.","family":"Cross","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Neurological Surgery and"},{"name":"Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology, Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christopher J.","family":"Moran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Neurological Surgery and"},{"name":"Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology, Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Allyson R.","family":"Zazulia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology, Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri"},{"name":"Neurology, and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jin-Moo","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neurology, and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael R.","family":"Chicoine","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Neurological Surgery and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ralph G.","family":"Dacey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Neurological Surgery and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Colin P.","family":"Derdeyn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Neurological Surgery and"},{"name":"Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology, Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri"},{"name":"Neurology, and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gregory J.","family":"Zipfel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Neurological Surgery and"},{"name":"Neurology, and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"key":"b1-jns12406","series-title":"Stroke","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1002","DOI":"10.1161\/01.STR.27.5.1002","article-title":"Carotid artery thrombus associated with severe iron-deficiency anemia and thrombocytosis","volume":"27","author":"Akins","year":"1996"},{"key":"b2-jns12406","series-title":"CMAJ","first-page":"1169","article-title":"The appropriate use of carotid endarterectomy","volume":"166","author":"Barnett","year":"2002"},{"key":"b3-jns12406","series-title":"Surg Neurol","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"467","DOI":"10.1016\/0090-3019(86)90086-8","article-title":"Intraluminal clot of the carotid artery.
