Özet
Objectives: We aimed to assess the incidence and predictors of prolonged hemodynamic depression (PHD) after carotid artery stenting (CAS). Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data from 216 CAS procedures performed in 207 patients (156 male; median and interquartile range (IQR) of age 68 (62−73) yr) between July 2012 and October 2020. PHD was defined as hypotension (systolic blood pressure ≤ 90 mmHg) and/or bradycardia (heart rate < 60 bpm) lasting >1 h. Results: The incidence of PHD was 25.9%. At multivariate analysis, asymptomatic lesions (OR: 2.43, 95% CI (1.16–5.06), p: 0.018), the stenosis proximity (<10 mm) to bifurcation (OR: 2.94, 95% CI (1.34–6.43), p: 0.007) and implantation of a Protege stent (OR: 2.93, 95% CI (1.14–7.53), p: 0.025) were independent risk factors, while statin usage (OR: 0.48, 95% CI (0.24–0.95), p: 0.036) was an independent protective factor for PHD after CAS. Conclusions: Patients with asymptomatic lesions and stenosis close to the bifurcation are more prone to PHD. The type of the stent selected significantly influences the risk of PHD. Further prospective randomized studies are warranted to investigate the possible protective role of statins against PHD after CAS.
