Risk factors for death or stroke after carotid endarterectomy: observations from the Ontario Carotid Endarterectomy Registry.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:Pending the results of randomized controlled trials, the benefit and safety of bridging therapy (combined intravenous and intra-arterial thrombolysis) remain to be determined. The aim of this analysis was to give reliable estimates of efficacy and safety outcomes of bridging therapy. METHODS:We ...
