Reduction in Early Stroke Risk in Carotid Stenosis with Transient Ischemic Attack Associated with Statin Treatment
Stroke 44:2814-2820, Merwick, A.,et al, 2013
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
In acute symptomatic carotid stenosis, statin pretreatment was associated with reduced stroke risk, consistent with findings from randomized trials in acute coronary syndromes. These data support the hypothesis that statins started acutely after TIA symptom onset may also be beneficial to prevent early stroke. Randomized trials addressing this question are required.
