Early Carotid Endarterectomy After Acute Stroke Yields Excellent Outcomes: An Analysis of The Procedure-Targeted ACS-NSQIP

Recurrent ischemic events have been associated with delayed carotid endarterectomy (CEA) for patients who present with acute strokes. As such earlier intervention has been advocated in order to preserve cerebral function and expedient rehabilitation. We sought to determine the differences in 30-day postoperative major adverse clinical events (MACEs) for patients who undergo early ( ≤ 7 days) and delayed (>7 days) CEA following acute stroke
