Safety of carotid endarterectomy following thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke
Conclusions: Despite slightly higher rates of postoperative hemorrhagic strokes than those in randomized trials, CEA appears safe following thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke. However, more data on the timing of surgery is needed.

Mortality and reintervention following elective abdominal aortic aneurysm repair
Conclusions: Results of this meta-analysis demonstrate that the 30-day all-cause mortality rate is higher with open than with EVAR repair; however, there is no statistical difference in the long-term all-cause and cause-specific mortality between both groups. The reintervention rate attributable to procedural complication was higher in the EVAR group. Because of the equivalency of long-term outcomes and the short-term benefits of EVAR, an endovascular-first approach to AAAs can be supported by the meta-analysis.
