Neurological Complication Rates of Intravenous Thrombolysis Combined With Early Carotid Endarterectomy for Treatment of Hyperacute Ischaemic Stroke

Introduction: Intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) can be combined with carotid endaterectomy either simultanously or in a staged procedure in the treatment of acute cartotis-associated stroke. It was the aim of this single-center retrospective studyto analyse the short-term results of sequential lysis with carotid endarterectomy, as well as long term results.
