Background Carotid free-floating thrombi (FFT) in patients with acute transient ischaemic attack (TIA)/stroke have a high risk of early recurrent stroke. Management depends on aetiology, which can include local plaque rupture, dissection, coagulopathy, malignancy and cardioembolism. Our objectives were to classify the underlying aetiology of FFT and to estimate the proportion of patients with underlying stenosis requiring revascularisation.Methods We prospectively enrolled consecutive patients presenting to three comprehensive stroke centres with acute TIA/stroke and ipsilateral internal carotid artery FFT. The aetiology of FFT was classified as: carotid atherosclerotic disease, carotid dissection, cardioembolism, both carotid atherosclerosis and cardioembolism, or embolic stroke of uncertain source (ESUS). Patients with carotid atherosclerosis were further subclassified as having ≥50% or |
