%X Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) caused by major vessel occlusion has potentially poor outcomes. Early successful recanalization after symptom onset is an important factor for favorable outcomes of AIS. We present the case of a 74-year-old man with AIS who underwent the entire process from diagnosis to thrombolysis and endovascular treatment in a hybrid emergency room (ER) equipped with a multidetector computed tomography (CT) scanner and an angiography suite set-up. A hybrid ER can facilitate evaluation and definitive interventions in patients with AIS more quickly and safely and in one place, without the requirement for transfer to a CT scanner or angiography suite set-up. In the present case, the door-to-puncture time and door-to-reperfusion time were 85 and 159 min, respectively, which were shorter than those in the group conventionally treated for stroke in our institution. Further study is needed to confirm the effect of the hybrid ER system
