In-hospital Outcomes Following Carotid Endarterectomy for Stroke Stratified by Modified Rankin Scale and Time of Intervention

While benefits of carotid endarterectomy (CEA) in treating symptomatic carotid stenosis are well known, optimal timing of intervention after acute stroke and whether optimal timing varies with preoperative stroke severity remains unclear. Therefore, we assessed the impact of stroke severity and timing of intervention on post-operative outcomes in patients undergoing CEA for stroke.
