Does TS reduce postoperative HD in patients undergoing carotid stenting?
TS reduces the risk of postoperative hemodynamic depression after carotid stenting, while specific plaque and stent characteristics (eccentric stenosis, high-echo plaque, open-cell stent, distal diameter) are identified as high-risk factors.
TS reduces the risk of postoperative HD and there is a trend toward a lower risk of ISR at 1 year after the procedure. Eccentric stenosis, high-echo plaque, open-cell stent, and distal diameter of stent are high-risk factors for HD.
Wang et al. (Wed,) studied this question.
