The role of periprocedural hemodynamic variables during carotid stenting for the mid-term general mortality in advanced age patients

Folia Med (Plovdiv). 2023 Dec 31;65(6):902-908. doi: 10.3897/folmed.65.e100100.

Abstract

Carotid stenting may produce significant bradycardia and/or hypotension. This may have negative short- and long-term effects for the elderly high-risk patients. Their cerebral hemodynamics is with exhausted adaptive capacity because of the multiple cardiovascular risk factors, advanced age, and significant stenosis.

Keywords: neurological outcome systolic blood pressure drops.
