Hemodynamic instability after extracranial carotid stenting
2006
Objective. Hemodynamic instability (hypertension, hypotension and bradycardia) is a well-known complication of carotid endarterectomy. Carotid angioplasty and stenting (CAS) is becoming a valuable alternative treatment for patients with severe carotid stenosis and increased surgical risk. CAS implies instrumentation of the carotid bulb, so baroceptor dysfunction may provoke hemodynamic instability. The aim of this work was to calculate the incidence of this complication and to detect factors to predict it.
