Intra-Operative Hypotension is a Risk Factor for Post-operative Silent Brain Ischaemia in Patients With Pre-operative Hypertension Undergoing Carotid Endarterectomy.

CONCLUSION: In this exploratory study, high pre-operative BP and a larger drop of intra-operative BP were associated with peri-procedural cerebral ischaemia as documented with DWI. These results call for confirmation in an adequately sized prospective study, as they suggest important consequences for peri-operative haemodynamic management in carotid revascularisation.
