Incidence and timing of hypotension after transcervical carotid artery stenting: Correlation with postoperative complications

Conclusions Most postoperative hypotension episodes occurred within the first 6 h, and more than one third between the 6 and 12 h post‐procedure. All patients with late hypotension were asymptomatic. There was no difference in complications between the study groups. In patients undergoing ambulatory CAS, hemodynamic monitoring in the postoperative period is particularly important during the first 12 h. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
