The perioperative complications and short-term death in endovascular treatment for acute stroke induced by extracranial carotid occlusion: a systematic review and a meta-analysis

Endovascular therapy is safe to perform from 6 to 24 hours after symptom onset.PMID:33755964 | DOI:10.26355/eurrev_202103_25259
