Popis: Aim: Acute ischemic stroke is an emergency clinical condition that occurs as a result of acute intracranial arterial occlusion and neural tissue destruction. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the treatment outcomes in patients who were performed intravenous thrombolysis (IVT), mechanical thrombectomy (MT), or both. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, 131 patients who underwent IVT, MT or both who has the diagnosis of AIS in our hospital between June 1, 2018, and February 1, 2018, were assessed. Age, sex, concomitant chronic diseases, NIHSS score, treatment-related complications, the time between disease presentation and hospital arrival, the duration of treatment, the one-month mortality rates and modified Rankin scores (MRS) were recorded. One-month mortality, NIHSS, and MRS were compared with treatment modalities and other factors. Results: The mean age of 131 patients included in the study was 71.79±12.67. The MRS did not differ significantly in the groups with IVT, MT, and IVT+MT (p> 0.05). In the IVT and MT groups, the NIHSS score increased significantly after the treatment (p 0.05). Conclusion: No significant relationship between mortality rates and MRS with treatment method was found. Complication rates were also not different among three treatment groups.
