Comparative Study
Ballooning-induced bradycardia during carotid stenting in primary stenosis and restenosis.
We compared the incidence of intraprocedural bradycardia and hypotension during carotid artery stenting in patients with primary carotid artery stenosis and those with prior ipsilateral carotid endarterectomy. ⋯ Intraprocedural bradycardia and hypotension occur more frequently in patients with primary carotid artery stenosis.
