What are the frequency and determinants of postprocedural hemodynamic instability after carotid angioplasty and stenting?
Intraprocedural hemodynamic instability during carotid angioplasty and stenting is a key predictor of postprocedural instability, highlighting the need for appropriate monitoring.
Postprocedural hemodynamic instability is frequent after CAS and supports the need for monitoring in settings suited to expeditious management of cardiovascular emergencies. Patients who have evidence of hemodynamic instability during the procedure are at highest risk.
