Carotid endarterectomy and extracranial-intracranial arterial bypass (EIAB) are included in surgical revascularization (SR), and thrombolysis and transluminal percutaneous angioplasty and/or stenting (PTAS) are included in endovascular revascularization (ER). This article focuses the revascularization procedure related complications in patients treated with surgical or endovascular revascularization.
