Angioedema following Thrombolysis in Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Population-Based Cross-Sectional Study of 99,935 Patients

Although angioedema increased the likelihood of tracheostomy and prolonged hospitalization, outcomes were comparable to those of patients without this complication. These findings are hypothesis-generating and may help guide discussions with families when angioedema occurs, demonstrating that while the need for airway intervention is more likely, the overall prognosis remains reassuring. Future studies should further clarify acute management strategies and long-term outcomes in this patient population.
