Uncontrolled post-operative hypertension after carotid endarterectomy is linked to intracerebral hemorrhage in case reports.
Case Report (n=2)
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Two patients with transient ischemic attacks and subsequent minor cerebral infarction had repair of very tight carotid stenosis, 4 and 5 weeks respectively after their stroke. Each developed intracerebral hemorrhage when hypertension was uncontrolled during the post-operative period. Hypertension is a significant complication of carotid endarterectomy, and may be a prominent factor in the development of intracerebral hemorrhage post-carotid endarterectomy.

Caplan et al. (1978) conducted a case report in Very tight carotid stenosis with transient ischemic attacks and subsequent minor cerebral infarction (n=2). Uncontrolled post-operative hypertension following carotid endarterectomy was evaluated on Intracerebral hemorrhage. Uncontrolled post-operative hypertension following carotid endarterectomy was associated with intracerebral hemorrhage in 2 of 2 patients.
