Outcomes and Prognostic Factors After Emergent Carotid Artery Stenting for Hyperacute Stroke Within 6 Hours of Symptom Onset
CONCLUSION: In our patient group, emergent CAS for hyperacute stroke caused by atherosclerotic C-ICA occlusion seemed to be effective and safe. Time to carotid recanalization was inversely and independently associated with a favorable outcome.
