ABSTRACTBackground Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) were excluded from the trials evaluating carotid artery stent placement (CAS) or carotid endarterectomy (CEA). We identified the prevalence of atrial fibrillation and how it might be associated with outcomes in patients with symptomatic internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis. Methods We analyzed the data from the National Inpatient Sample between 2016 and 2021 with stenosis of ICA who underwent CAS or CEA.
