Abstract
Importance The autonomic nervous system maintains internal stability by concurrently prioritizing and managing different functions. It is currently not known whether dysfunction at the aerodigestive junction could overwhelm autonomic control and impair other functions. Objective To compare baroreflex sensitivity, a prognostically significant index of the autonomic system's ability to stabilize blood pressure, between patients with predominantly esophagogastric (digestive) and patients with predominantly laryngopharyngeal (aerodigestive) symptoms. Design, Setting, and Participants A cross-sectional study, between 2018 and 2019, of adults undergoing esophagal manometry or transnasal panendoscopy was carried out in a specialist center. The analysis took place between 2023 and 2024. Main Outcomes and Measures Heart rate and blood pressure were recorded and baroreflex sensitivity and heart rate variability were derived. Esophageal physiology was assessed with high-resolution manometry. Results There were 30 and 23 patients in the digestive and aerodigestive groups, respectively. The mean (SD) age was 61 (15) years and there were 26 women and 27 men. Compared with patients in the digestive group, more patients in the aerodigestive group had voice or throat symptoms and fewer had classic reflux symptoms (odds ratio [OR], 5.65; 95% CI, 1.82-17.5; OR, 2.07; 95% CI, 1.28-3.33; and OR, 0.60; 95% CI, 0.38-0.95, respectively). Patients in the aerodigestive group had higher mean (SD) resting heart rate (93 [17] vs 75 [13] min-1; difference of means, -18 min-1; 95% CI, -26 to -10), lower resting mean (SD) arterial pressure (94 [16] vs 104 [23] mm Hg, OR, 10; 95% CI, -1 to 21), lower mean (SD) baroreflex sensitivity (3.77 [0.79] vs 9.76 [2.92] s-3mm Hg-1; OR, 6.0 s-3mmHg-1; 95% CI, 4.7-7.2), and lower mean (SD) parasympathetic-spectrum heart rate variability (0.68 [0.15] vs 1.30 [0.53]; OR, 0.62; 95% CI, 0.39-0.85). There was a correlation between reduced lower esophageal relaxation (integrated relaxation pressure) and reduced baroreflex sensitivity (r = -0.33; 95% CI, -0.58 to -0.03). Conclusions In this cross-sectional study of adults undergoing esophageal manometry or transnasal panendoscopy, patients with laryngopharyngeal symptoms had reduced baroreflex sensitivity, indicating diminished vagal control compared with patients with esophagogastric symptoms. The overwhelmed vagus hypothesis may explain these responses by considering autonomic functions as competing consumers of the finite regulatory resources of a common controller. The regulatory demands of maintaining a safe airway with concurrent laryngopharyngeal sensorimotor dysfunction, superadded to baseline demands for dual speech and aerodigestive control, could overwhelm and force the system to deprioritize less immediate functions like esophageal relaxation and the baroreflex. Measuring baroreflex sensitivity, now possible in routine clinical practice, could enable phenotyping and objective outcome assessment for laryngopharyngeal dysfunction. A neurophysiological model for considering laryngopharyngeal sensorimotor dysfunction could in turn move patient care toward a more holistic autonomic health footing.

Redefining postoperative hypertension management in carotid surgery: a comprehensive analysis of blood pressure homeostasis and hyperperfusion syndrome in unilateral vs. bilateral carotid surgeries and implications for clinical practice. Front Surg 2024; 11:1361963. [PMID: 38638141 PMCID: PMC11025470 DOI: 10.3389/fsurg.2024.1361963] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2023] [Accepted: 03/20/2024] [Indexed: 04/20/2024] Open
Abstract
Background This study evaluates the implications of blood pressure homeostasis in bilateral vs. unilateral carotid surgeries, focusing on the incidence of postoperative hypertension, hyperperfusion syndrome, and stroke as primary outcomes. It further delves into the secondary outcomes encompassing major adverse cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality. Methods Spanning two decades (2002-2023), this comprehensive retrospective research encompasses 15,369 carotid referrals, out of which 1,230 underwent carotid interventions. A subset of 690 patients received open carotid procedures, with a 10-year follow-up, comprising 599 unilateral and 91 bilateral surgeries. The Society for Vascular Surgery Carotid Reporting Standards underpin our methodological approach for data collection. Both univariate and multivariate analyses were utilized to identify factors associated with postoperative hypertension using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 22 (SPSS®, IBM® Corp., Armonk, N.Y., USA). Results A marked acute elevation in blood pressure was observed in patients undergoing both unilateral and bilateral carotid surgeries (p < 0.001). Smoking (OR: 1.183, p = 0.007), hyperfibrinogenemia (OR: 0.834, p = 0.004), emergency admission (OR: 1.192, p = 0.005), severe ipsilateral carotid stenosis (OR: 1.501, p = 0.022), and prior ipsilateral interventions (OR: 1.722, p = 0.003) emerged as significant factors that correlates with postoperative hypertension in unilateral surgeries. Conversely, in bilateral procedures, gender, emergency admissions (p = 0.012), and plaque morphology (p = 0.035) significantly influenced postoperative hypertension. Notably, 2.2% of bilateral surgery patients developed hyperperfusion syndrome, culminating in hemorrhagic stroke within 30 days. Intriguingly, postoperative stage II hypertension was identified as an independent predictor of neurological deficits post-secondary procedure in bilateral CEA cases (p = 0.004), attributable to hyperperfusion syndrome. However, it did not independently predict myocardial infarction or mortality outcomes. The overall 30-day stroke rate stood at 0.90%. Lowest incidence of post operative hypertension or any complications were observed in eversion carotid endartrertomy. Conclusion The study identifies postoperative hypertension as a crucial independent predictor of perioperative stroke following bilateral carotid surgery. Moreover, the study elucidates the significant impact of bilateral CEA on the development of post-operative hyperperfusion syndrome or stroke, as compared to unilateral CEA. Currently almost 90% of our carotid practice is eversion carotid endartrerectomy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The bilateral presentation of Carotid Body Tumors (CBT) is rare; the surgical resection of these masses remains the mainstay management due to the malignant potential. We aim to describe, classify, and quantify baroreceptor failure (BRF) after the surgical management of patients with bilateral CBT to better understand the clinical consequences. METHODS Retrospective review of patients that underwent bilateral CBT resection to assess the changes in baroreceptor function. We describe the clinical events associated to BRF after surgery, baseline patient's demographics, characteristics, comorbidities. Additionally, clinical and a quantitative evaluation of baroreceptor sensitivity were conducted using the Composite Autonomic Severity Score (CASS). RESULTS From 1986 to 2020, a total 146 CBT resections were performed in 132 patients in our institution. Tumors were removed bilaterally in staged procedures in seven patients with a mean age of 61 years (Standard Deviation 11), six (85%) were females, and there was no family history of paragangliomas. The clinical presentation were palpable masses in 5 (71%), and odynophagia in 2 (29%) cases; malignant histopathology following surgery was found in one case. BRF occurred in one patient after unilateral CBT resection, consisting of bradycardia and a 40 s asystole that was not previously associated to BR sensitivity. Three (43%) patients presented BRF in the immediate postoperative period of the contralateral CBT excision, consisting of volatile hypertensive crisis in two cases, and supraventricular tachycardia in one. All the patients developed (100%) chronic baroreceptor sensitivity symptoms consisting in syncope, vertigo and fatigue in 4 (57%), tachycardia in 2 (28%), and orthostatic headache in one (14%). Autonomic testing showed mixed sympathetic and parasympathetic failure in five (71%), severe sympathetic failure in 1 (14%), and parasympathetic dysfunction in one patient (14%). CONCLUSIONS Postoperative autonomic assessment confirmed BRF in all studied patients that underwent staged bilateral CBT resection with mixed, sympathetic, and parasympathetic dysfunction. Further studies are necessary to evaluate the incidence and physiological mechanisms of these sequelae to anticipate possible complications and offer the appropriate perioperative management.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Analysis of the dynamics of systolic blood pressure (SBP) and the results of various types of carotid endarterectomy (СЕЕ) (classical with plasty of the reconstruction zone with a patch, eversion, formation of a new bifurcation, autoarterial reconstruction, glomus-saving techniques) in patients with resistant arterial hypertension (RAH). MATERIALS AND METHODS The actual cohort, comparative, retrospective, open research for the period from January 2013 to December 2021 includes 1577 patients with significant hemodynamic stenosis of the internal carotid artery Depending on revascularization strategy five groups were formed: Group 1: 18.3% (n = 289) - classical Carotid endarterectomy with plasty of the reconstruction zone with a patch (from diepoxy-treated xenopericardium or synthetic); Group 2: 29.9% (n = 472) - eversional CEE with cut-off of carotid gloomus (CG); Group 3: 6.9% (n = 109) - the formation of a new bifurcation; Group 4: 7.4% (n = 117) - autoarterial reconstruction; Group 5: 37.4% (n = 590) - glomus-saving CEE (1 technique - according to A.N. Kazantsev; two technicians - according to R.A. Vinogradov; three technicians - according to K.A.Antsupov). According to the 24-h blood pressure monitor in the preoperative period, the following degrees of AH were identified: 1° - 5.7% (n = 89); 2° - 64.2% (n = 1013); and 3° - 30.1% (n = 475). RESULTS In the postoperative period, no significant differences were obtained in the frequency of deaths, myocardial infarction, stroke, hemorrhagic transformation. However, according to the frequency of the combined endpoint (death + myocardial infarction + ischemic stroke + hemorrhagic transformation), the lowest rates were observed in the group of classical carotid endarterectomy with plasty of the reconstruction zone with a patch and glomus-sparing CEE (group 1: 1.03% (n = 3); group 2: 3.6% (n = 17); group 3: 3.67% (n = 4); group 4: 2.56% (n = 3); group 5: 0.5% (n = 3); p = 0.10). This is due to the absence of cases of labile AH and hypertensive crises among patients of groups 1 and 5, which was ensured by the preservation of carotid glomus (CG). As a result, the number of patients with 2 and 3 degrees of hypertension in these groups decreased statistically significantly. The vast majority of patients after these operations achieved a stable target SBP. In groups 2, 3, and 4, there was a statistically significant increase in the number of patients with 2 and 3 degrees of AH, which is associated with excision of the CG. CONCLUSION Classical CEE and glomus-sparing CEE techniques make it possible to achieve a stable target SBP level in patients with RAH as a result of CG preservation. Removal or traumatization of the latter during eversional CEE, the formation of a new bifurcation, autoarterial reconstruction is accompanied by the development of labile hypertension, an increase in the degree of hypertension and a high risk of hemorrhagic transformation in the brain. Thus, the most effective and safe types of CEE in the presence of RAH are classical CEE with plasty of the reconstruction zone with a patch and glomus-sparing CEE, accompanied by the lowest incidence of adverse cardiovascular events caused by postoperative hypertensive crisis and hyperperfusion syndrome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Arising from chemoreceptor cells, carotid body tumors (CBTs) are rare neoplasms associated with hemodynamics. Perioperative changes in blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) are not completely understood. METHODS This retrospective, observational, controlled study included all CBT patients from 2013 to 2018 in Peking Union Medical College Hospital. Perioperative changes in BP/HR within or between unilateral/bilateral/control groups were investigated. Perioperative details across Shamblin types were also assessed. RESULTS This study included 108 patients (116 excised CBTs). The postoperative systolic BP and HR increased in both unilateral (mean difference of systolic BP = 5.9mmHg, 95% CI 3.1 ~ 8.6; mean difference of HR = 3.7 bpm, 95% CI 2.6 ~ 4.9) and bilateral (mean difference of systolic BP = 10.3mmHg, 95% CI 0.6 ~ 19.9; mean difference of HR = 8.4 bpm, 95% CI 0.5 ~ 16.2) CBT patients compared with the preoperative measures. Compared with control group, the postoperative systolic BP increased (difference in the alteration = 6.3mmHg, 95% CI 3.5 ~ 9.0) in unilateral CBT patients; both systolic BP (difference in the alteration = 9.2mmHg, 95% CI 1.1 ~ 17.3) and HR (difference in the alteration = 5.3 bpm, 95% CI 1.0 ~ 9.6) increased in bilateral CBT patients. More CBT patients required extra antihypertensive therapy after surgery than controls (OR = 2.5, 95% CI 1.14 ~ 5.5). Maximum tumor diameter, intraoperative vascular injury, continuous vasoactive agent requirement, total fluid volume, transfusion, estimated blood loss, operation duration, postoperative pathology, overall complications, and intensive care unit/hospital lengths of stay significantly varied among Shamblin types. CONCLUSION CBT excision may be associated with subtle perioperative hemodynamic changes. Perioperative management of CBT patients necessitates careful assessment, full preparation and close postoperative monitoring.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of perioperative blood pressure variability on cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome after carotid artery stenting. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted of data collected from 418 patients who underwent carotid artery stenting in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region People's Hospital in China. The blood pressure data were collected during operation (after balloon dilation, before stent release, after stent release) and within 3 days after the operation. The blood pressure variability was evaluated by measuring the mean, maximum, minimum, max-min, standard deviation (SD) of systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP). The correlation between blood pressure variability and cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome was analysed. RESULTS Blood pressure data from 418 patients were analysed. Twenty patients (4.8%) developed cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome. The parameters of blood pressure variability were divided into four groups according to quartile. After adjusting for age, symptomatic carotid stenosis, unilateral carotid stenosis, bilateral carotid stenosis, collateral circulation, diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease, multivariate analysis showed that SBPMax, SBPMin, SBPMax-Min, SBPCV, DBPSD, DBPMax, DBPMin, DBPMax-Min and DBPCV were associated with the occurrence of cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome (P < 0.05), respectively. CONCLUSION This study suggests that blood pressure variability during the perioperative period may increase the risk of cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION SyngoDynaPBVNeuro® is a tool to perform cerebral blood volume (CBV) measurements intraoperatively by functional imaging producing CT-like images. Aim of this prospective study was to analyze the clinical relevance and benefit of CBV measurement with regard to neurological complications like cerebral hyperfusion syndrome (CHS). METHODS Forty-five patients undergoing endarterectomy (CEA) of the internal carotid artery were included; functional imaging with CBV measurement was performed before and after CEA. To evaluate and analyze CBV, six regions of interest (ROI) were identified for all patients with an additional ROI in patients with symptomatic ICA stenosis and previous stroke. The primary endpoint of the study was a perioperative change in CBV measurements. Secondary outcomes were incidence of stroke, TIA, CHS, and perioperative morbidity and mortality. RESULTS Thirty-day stroke incidence and thirty-day mortality were 0%. Thirty-day morbidity was 6.7%. Two patients from the asymptomatic group suffered from transient neurological symptoms without signs of intracerebral infarction in CT or MR scan, meeting diagnostic criteria for CHS. In 83.3% of ROIs in these patients, an increase of blood volume was detected. Overall, 26.7% patients suffered from unilateral headache as expression of potential CHS. A total of 69.4% of ROIs in patients with postoperative unilateral headache showed an increase when comparing pre- and postoperative CBV measurements. CONCLUSION The results show that increased CBV measured by functional imaging is a possible surrogate marker of neurological complications like CHS after CEA. By using intraoperative CBV measurement, the risk of CHS can be estimated early and appropriate therapeutic measures can be applied.

Abstract
Acute perioperative changes in arterial pressure occur frequently, particularly in patients with cardiovascular disease or those receiving vasoactive medications, or in relation to certain cardiovascular surgical procedures. Hemodynamic Instability (HI) are common in patients undergoing carotid revascularization because of unique patho-physiological and surgical factors. The operation, by necessity, disrupts the afferent pathway of the baroreflex, which can lead to postendarterectomy HI. Poor arterial pressure control is associated with increased morbidity and mortality after carotid revascularization, but good control of arterial pressure is often difficult to achieve in practice. The incidence, implications, and etiology of HI associated with carotid surgery are reviewed, and some recommendations made for its management. Close monitoring and titration of therapy are probably the most important considerations rather than specific choice of agents.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to determine the incidence of postoperative major adverse cardiac events for patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy. METHODS This single-center, retrospective study recruited 171 carotid endarterectomy patients between January 1999 and June 2018. Patients who received a carotid endarterectomy in conjunction with other surgery were excluded. The primary outcomes were the incidences of major adverse cardiac events (comprising myocardial infarction, significant arrhythmias, congestive heart failure, and cardiac death) within 7 days, 7-30 days, and > 30 days-1 year, postoperatively. The secondary outcomes were the factors related to major adverse cardiac events and the incidence of postoperative stroke. The patients' charts were reviewed, and direct contact was made with them to obtain information on their status post discharge. RESULTS The incidences of major adverse cardiac events within 7 days, 7-30 days, and >30 days-1 year of the carotid endarterectomy were 3.5% of patients (95% confidence interval: 0.008-0.063), 1.2% (95% confidence interval: 0.004-0.028), and 1.8% (95% confidence interval: 0.002-0.037), respectively. The major adverse cardiac events occurring within 7 days were arrhythmia (2.3% of patients), cardiac arrest (1.8%), myocardial infarction (1.2%), and congestive heart failure (1.2%), while the corresponding postoperative stroke rate was 4.7%. CONCLUSION The 7-day incidence of major adverse cardiac events after the carotid endarterectomy was 3.5%. The most common major adverse cardiac event during that period was cardiac arrhythmia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the dynamics of systolic blood pressure (SBP) and the results of various types of carotid endarterectomy (CEE) in patients with resistant arterial hypertension (RAH). MATERIALS AND METHODS The study included 1577 patients with hemodynamically significant stenosis of the internal carotid artery (ICA) and RAH for more than 3 years. Patients were enrolled from January 2014 to December 2020. Depending on the implemented revascularization strategy, 5 groups were formed: group 1 (n=289 (18.3%)) with classical CEE with plasty of the reconstruction zone with a patch, group 2 (n=472 (29.9%)) with eversional CEE with cut-off of carotid glomus (CG); group 3 (n=109 (6.9%)) with the formation of a new bifurcation; group 4: (n=117 (7.4%)) with autoarterial reconstruction; group 5: (n=590 (37.4%)) with glomus-saving CEE. RESULTS In the postoperative period, no significant differences were obtained in the frequency of deaths (0.34% for group 1; 0.63% for group 2; 0% for groups 3, 4 and 5), myocardial infarction (0.34%, 0.84%, 1.83, 0.85%, 0.33%, respectively); ischemic stroke (0.34%, 1.27%, 0.91%, 0.85%, 0.17%, respectively), hemorrhagic transformation (0%, 0.84%, 0.91%, 0.85%, 0%, respectively). However, according to the frequency of the combined endpoint (death + myocardial infarction + ischemic stroke + hemorrhagic transformation), the lowest rates were observed in the group of classical carotid endarterectomy with plasty of the reconstruction zone with a patch and glomus-sparing CEE (1.03%, 3.6%, 3.67%, 2.56%, 0.5%, respectively). This is due to the absence of cases of labile AH and hypertensive crises among patients of groups 1 and 5, which was ensured by the preservation of carotid glomus (CG). As a result, the number of patients with 2 and 3 degrees of hypertension in these groups decreased statistically significantly. The vast majority of patients after these operations achieved a stable target SBP. In groups 2, 3, and 4, there was a statistically significant increase in the number of patients with 2 and 3 degrees of AH, which is associated with excision of the CG. CONCLUSION Classical CEE and glomus-sparing CEE techniques make it possible to achieve a stable target SBP level in patients with RAH as a result of CG preservation. Removal or traumatization of the latter during eversional CEE, the formation of a new bifurcation, autoarterial reconstruction is accompanied by the development of labile hypertension, an increase in the degree of hypertension and a high risk of hemorrhagic transformation in the brain. Thus, the most effective and safe types of CEE in the presence of RAH are classical CEE with plasty of the reconstruction zone with a patch and glomus-sparing CEE.

Abstract
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.

Peri-operative Monitoring of an Asystolic Cardiac Arrest Requiring Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation During Carotid Endarterectomy for Symptomatic Carotid Artery Stenosis. EJVES Vasc Forum 2021; 51:13-17. [PMID: 34041506 PMCID: PMC8141475 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejvsvf.2021.04.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2020] [Revised: 03/22/2021] [Accepted: 04/02/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction A carotid endarterectomy (CEA) has certain risks, of which peri-operative cardiovascular risk is one. Peri-operative neurological monitoring can be done with electroencephalography (EEG) and transcranial Doppler (TCD). No previous reports have been published demonstrating the actual changes in cerebral and cardiac activity during a peri-operative asystole. Report The case of a 70 year old man with a symptomatic (bilateral) carotid stenosis is described. The patient complained of amaurosis fugax in both eyes. Duplex ultrasound showed a stenosis of >70% in both carotid arteries. The most severe symptoms were on the right side, so a staged approach was chosen, starting with a right sided eversion CEA (eCEA). Peri-operatively, the patient experienced an asystolic cardiac arrest after external carotid artery revascularisation, requiring brief cardiopulmonary resuscitation, which was recorded on the EEG. Post-operatively, the patient recovered fully, with no post-operative neurological or cardiac sequelae. The (symptomatic) contralateral stenosis was treated conservatively with best medical therapy (BMT; dual antiplatelets and statin). The patient is currently in good clinical condition, 1.5 years later. Conclusion This case shows the unique EEG recording of a cardiological event during eCEA. The cause of asystole was most likely a vasovagal syncope as a result of the surgical procedure by iatrogenic damage to the carotid sinus fibres, causing impairment of the baroreflex and chemoreflex mechanisms, which is greater during eCEA. The unilateral eCEA and contralateral BMT in this symptomatic (bilateral) stenosis seemed appropriate when cardiological risk was increased but follow up ruled out any cardiological cause. This report shows the unique electroencephalography (EEG) recording of an episode of peri-operative cardiac asystole during carotid endarterectomy. Peri-operative EEG and transcranial Doppler gives detailed information on the course of an asystole with cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome is a rare but potentially severe complication of carotid artery revascularisation that develops under conditions of resistant postoperative hypertension and impaired cerebrovascular autoregulation. OBJECTIVE Was to determine which preoperative and operative factors affect the development of cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome after carotid endarterectomy. METHODS This prospective observational study enrolled 93 asymptomatic patients who underwent carotid endarterectomy. Cerebral hyperperfusion was registered in patients who had 100% postoperative increase in mean flow in middle cerebral artery registered by Transcranial Doppler ultrasound. Cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome was diagnosed in patients with cerebral hyperperfusion who postoperatively developed at least one of the symptoms. Pre-operative and operative risk factors for cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome were analysed by multivariate binary logistic regression. RESULTS Out of 93 operated patients, cerebral hyperperfusion was registered in 23 and cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome in 18 patients. Risk factors for cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome were included in the binary logistic regression model. Incomplete Circle of Willis morphology on 3D TOF magnetic resonance image (p = 0.002), Breath holding index below the 0.69 cut-off (p = 0.006), positive criteria for insufficient collateral flow through circle of Willis registered by TCD (p = 0.03), and poorly controlled hypertension (p = 0.023) showed statistically significant independent predictive value for cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome. The model was statistically significant (p = 0.012) and correctly classified 90.3 % of patients. CONCLUSIONS Incomplete circle of Willis and insufficient collateral flow, low cerebrovascular reserve, and poorly regulated hypertension are significant predictors of post- carotid endarterectomy hyperperfusion development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to establish and validate a machine learning-based model for the prediction of early phase postoperative hypertension (EPOH) requiring the administration of intravenous vasodilators after carotid endarterectomy (CEA). METHODS Perioperative data from consecutive CEA procedures performed from January 2013 to August 2019 were retrospectively collected. EPOH was defined in post-CEA patients as hypertension involving a systolic blood pressure above 160 mm Hg and requiring the administration of any intravenous vasodilator medications in the first 24 hr after a return to the vascular ward. Gradient boosted regression trees were used to construct the predictive model, and the featured importance scores were generated by using each feature's contribution to each tree in the model. To evaluate the model performance, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was used as the main metric. Four-fold stratified cross-validation was performed on the data set, and the average performance of the 4 folds was reported as the final model performance. RESULTS A total of 406 CEA operations were performed under general anesthesia. Fifty-three patients (13.1%) met the definition of EPOH. There was no significant difference in the percentage of postoperative stroke/death between patients with and without EPOH during the hospital stay. Patients with EPOH exhibited a higher incidence of postoperative cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome (7.5% vs. 0, P < 0.001), as well as a higher incidence of cerebral hemorrhage (3.8% vs. 0, P < 0.001). The gradient boosted regression trees prediction model achieved an average AUC of 0.77 (95% CI 0.62 to 0.92). When the sensitivity was fixed near 0.90, the model achieved an average specificity of 0.52 (95% CI 0.28 to 0.75). CONCLUSIONS We have built the first-ever machine learning-based prediction model for EPOH after CEA. The validation result from our single-center database was very promising. This novel prediction model has the potential to help vascular surgeons identify high-risk patients and reduce related complications more efficiently.

Abstract
Cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome (CHS) is a clinical syndrome following a revascularization procedure. In the past decade, neurointerventional surgery has become a standard procedure to treat stenotic or occluded cerebral vessels in both acute and chronic settings, as well as endovascular thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke. This review aims to summarize relevant recent studies regarding the epidemiology, diagnosis, and management of CHS as well as to highlight areas of uncertainty. Extracranial and intracranial cerebrovascular diseases in acute and chronic conditions are considered. The definition and diagnostic criteria of CHS are diverse. Although impaired cerebrovascular autoregulation plays a major role in the pathophysiology of CHS, the underlying mechanism is still not fully understood. Its clinical characteristics vary in different patients. The current findings on clinical and radiological presentation, pathophysiology, incidence, and risk factors are based predominantly on carotid angioplasty and stenting studies. Hemodynamic assessment using imaging modalities is the main form of diagnosis although the criteria are distinct, but it is helpful for patient selection before an elective revascularization procedure is conducted. After endovascular thrombectomy, a diagnosis of CHS is even more complex, and physicians should consider concomitant reperfusion injury. Management and preventative measures, including intensive blood pressure control before, during, and after revascularization procedures and staged angioplasty, are discussed in detail.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hemodynamic changes frequently occur after carotid artery stenting (CAS), and in some patients these changes, particularly hypotension, may be prolonged. There are discrepant results for predicting patients at high risk for these prolonged hemodynamic changes and identifying the effect on clinical outcome. In this study, we aimed to determine the frequency, predictors and consequences associated with prolonged hypotension (PH) after CAS in our center. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the demographics, risk factors, nature of carotid disease, degree of stenosis of both internal carotid arteries, stent diameter and site of dilatation during stenting in 137 CAS procedures. After CAS, duration of hospital stay, complications during hospital stay and major vascular events or death in a 3-month period were evaluated. PH was defined as a systolic blood pressure <90 mmHg lasting more than 1 h despite adequate treatment after CAS. RESULTS PH occured in 23 (16.8%) patients. The presence of contralateral stenosis ≥70% and absence of diabetes mellitus were significantly associated with PH. Duration of hospital stay was significantly longer in patients with PH. No patients with PH had a periprocedural complication or major vascular events in the follow-up period. CONCLUSION PH was more prevalent in patients with contralateral high-degree carotid stenosis and patients without diabetes mellitus after CAS. PH did not cause any post-procedural complications or major vascular events at follow-up, but it resulted longer hospital stays. Further studies are needed to better define the pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying these hemodynamic alterations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Internal carotid artery stenosis (ICAS) is associated with significantly higher risk of stroke. Autonomic function can be impaired in the presence of atheroma in the carotid sinus region. Two parameters of autonomic nervous system (ANS) function e.g. heart rate variability (HRV) and baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) are respected predictors of cardiovascular prognosis. We assessed the effect of elective unilateral carotid endarterectomy (CEA) on cardiovascular autonomic functions as a major prognostic factor for cardiovascular health. METHODS Nineteen patients indicated for CEA underwent formal autonomic assessment in the laboratory. Hemodynamic profiles, HRV and BRS were evaluated with the dedicated high-tech device Task Force Monitor before surgery (day-1) and postoperatively (day 3±1). Data were obtained during 5 min orthostatic challenge and subsequent 5 min in a supine position. RESULTS There were no significant early postoperative changes in evaluated parameters after CEA. There was a mild decrease of blood pressure and therefore only a slight increase in BRS. It was also possible to observe a rise in the value of total power and high frequency power. CONCLUSION In the early postoperative period, healing processes are occurring and the sympatho-vagal interaction is probably still unbalanced. Given the considerable clinical potential of BRS and HRV measurement, further short-term and, more importantly, long-term investigations are needed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE/BACKGROUND The first paper in this series observed that pre-operative baroreceptor dysfunction and poorly controlled hypertension were independently predictive for identifying patients who went on to require treatment for post-endarterectomy hypertension (PEH). The second paper examines the influence of intra-operative patient, transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasound, and anaesthetic variables on the incidence of PEH. METHODS In total, 106 patients underwent carotid endarterectomy (CEA) under general anaesthesia. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) changes, anaesthetic and vasoactive agents, analgesia, and post-operative pain scores, as well as TCD derived changes in middle cerebral artery (MCA) velocity during surgery were recorded. Patients who met pre-existing unit criteria for treating PEH after CEA (SBP > 170 mmHg without symptoms or SBP > 160 mmHg with headache/seizure/neurological deficit) were treated according to an established and validated protocol. RESULTS In total, 40/106 patients (38%) required treatment for PEH following CEA (26 in theatre recovery [25%], 27 back on the vascular surgery ward [25%]), whereas seven (7%) had SBP surges > 200 mmHg on the ward. Patients requiring treatment for PEH had significantly higher pre-induction SBP (174 ± 21 mmHg vs. 153 ± 21 mmHg; p < .001), the greatest decreases in SBP after induction of anaesthesia (median decrease 100 ± 32 mmHg vs. 83 ± 24 mmHg; p = .01) and were significantly more likely to experience moderate/severe pain scores post-operatively (p = .003). Logistic regression analysis of the pre- and intra-operative data revealed that higher pre-induction mean SBP and lower pre-operative (impaired) BRS were the only independent predictors of PEH. CONCLUSION This analysis of intra-operative variables has demonstrated that patients with poorly controlled and/or labile hypertension at induction of general anaesthesia were those at greatest risk of requiring treatment for PEH in the post-operative period after CEA. No other variables, including use of vasopressors, treatment of hypotension, anaesthetic agents, or changes in MCA velocity after clamp release and restoration of flow were able to predict who might go on to require treatment for PEH. Identification of at-risk individuals and aggressive blood pressure control in the post-operative period remains the mainstay of treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative blood pressure alterations after carotid endarterectomy (CEA) are associated with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality. OBJECTIVE To outline the influence of the two commonly used surgical reconstruction techniques, conventional CEA with patch plasty (C-CEA) and eversion CEA (E-CEA), as well as the innovative carotid sinus-preserving eversion CEA (SP-E-CEA) technique on postoperative hemodynamics, taking the current scientific knowledge into consideration. METHODS Assessment of the current clinical and scientific evidence on each operative technique found in the PubMed (NLM) database ranging from 1974 to 2017, excluding case reports. RESULTS A total of 34 relevant papers as well as 1 meta-analysis, which scientifically dealt with the described topic were identified. The results of the studies and the meta-analysis showed that E‑CEA correlates with an impairment of local baroreceptor functions as well as with an elevated need for vasodilators in the early postoperative phase, whereas C‑CEA and SP-E-CEA seem to have a more favorable effect on the postoperative blood pressure. CONCLUSION The CEA technique influences the postoperative blood pressure regulation, irrespective of the operative technique used. Accordingly, close blood pressure monitoring is recommended at least during the postoperative hospital stay. Further studies are mandatory to evaluate the importance of SP-E-CEA as an alternative to the classical E‑CEA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Baroreceptor dysfunction and reflex failure may occur after surgery affecting the carotid artery. The implications for patients undergoing treatment for head and neck cancer are not well described. METHODS A literature search of PubMed was performed between March 2016 and May 2016. Search terms used individually and in combination included: "baroreflex failure," "carotid sinus sensitivity," "carotid endarterectomy," "carotid body tumor," and "head and neck cancer." Bibliographies of included articles were also reviewed for additional pertinent articles. RESULTS There is evidence of baroreceptor failure in certain patients after interventions associated with the carotid artery, including carotid endarterectomy and carotid body tumor excision. Few studies have been performed investigating the potential effect of head and neck surgery treatment, including surgery and/or radiation, on baroreflex function. CONCLUSION Head and neck cancer treatment has the potential to cause baroreflex failure, and this is likely an underrecognized and underdiagnosed condition.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE/BACKGROUND Post-endarterectomy hypertension (PEH) is a well recognised, but poorly understood, phenomenon after carotid endarterectomy (CEA) that is associated with post-operative intracranial haemorrhage, hyperperfusion syndrome, and cardiac complications. The aim of the current study was to identify pre-operative clinical, imaging, and physiological parameters associated with PEH. METHODS In total, 106 CEA patients undergoing CEA under general anaesthesia underwent pre-operative evaluation of 24 hour ambulatory arterial blood pressure (BP), baroreceptor sensitivity, cerebral autoregulation, and transcranial Doppler measurement of cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFv) and pulsatility index. Patients who met pre-existing criteria for treating PEH after CEA (systolic BP [SBP] > 170 mmHg without symptoms or SBP > 160 mmHg with headache/seizure/neurological deficit) were treated according to a previously established protocol. RESULTS In total, 40/106 patients (38%) required treatment for PEH at some stage following CEA (26 in theatre recovery [25%], 27 while on the vascular surgical ward [25%]), while seven (7%) had SBP surges > 200 mmHg back on the ward. Patients requiring treatment for PEH had a significantly higher pre-operative SBP (144 ± 11 mmHg vs. 135 ± 13 mmHg; p < .001) and evidence of pre-existing impairment of baroreceptor sensitivity (3.4 ± 1.7 ms/mmHg vs. 5.3 ± 2.8 ms/mmHg; p = .02). However, PEH was not associated with any other pre-operative clinical features, CBFv, or impaired cerebral haemodynamics. Paradoxically, autoregulation was better preserved in patients with PEH. All four cases of hyperperfusion associated symptoms were preceded by PEH. Length of hospital stay was significantly increased in patients with PEH (p < .001). CONCLUSION In this study, where all patients underwent CEA under general anaesthesia, PEH was associated with poorly controlled pre-operative BP and impaired baroreceptor sensitivity, but not with other peripheral or central haemodynamic parameters, including impaired cerebral autoregulation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Continuous stimulation of the carotid baroreceptors has been shown to evoke a sustained systolic blood pressure (SBP) reduction in hypertensive subjects. This study conducted a detailed mapping of the SBP and heart rate response to electrical stimulus at different locations in the carotid sinus region in patients undergoing a carotid endarterectomy (CEA). METHODS The Carotid Sinus Autonomic Response Mapping (C-Map) Study is a multicenter, prospective, non-randomized, acute feasibility study conducted in 10 hypertensive subjects undergoing CEA. Electrode pairs were placed in multiple locations in the region of the carotid sinus for acute stimulation, and the tests were repeated after plaque removal and vessel repair. RESULTS The configuration that elicited the largest pressure reduction in 8 of 10 patients was with the electrodes arranged longitudinally along the medial (in relation to the bifurcation) wall of the internal carotid artery (ICA) near the bifurcation (11.2±8.1mmHg, p<0.05). There was no difference in average maximum response pre vs. post plaque removal. Spontaneous baroreflex sensitivity increased from 6.0±3.2ms/mmHg pre-CEA to 8.2±5.4ms/mmHg post-CEA (p=0.040). CONCLUSIONS Endarterectomy surgery did not affect maximal acute stimulation response but improved baroreflex sensitivity acutely. Acute extravascular baroreceptor stimulation (BRS) mapping demonstrated that blood pressure reductions are dependent on electrode location and orientation. In most subjects, the largest SBP reductions were elicited in the region of the medial wall of the ICA. This area can be targeted for future BRS lead design and implant.

Abstract
Background: Cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome is an important complication of carotid endarterectomy (CEA). An >100% increase in middle cerebral artery velocity (MCAV) after CEA is used to predict the cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome (CHS) development, but the accuracy is limited. The increase in blood pressure (BP) after surgery is a risk factor of CHS, but no study uses it to predict CHS. This study was to create a more precise parameter for prediction of CHS by combined the increase of MCAV and BP after CEA. Methods: Systolic MCAV measured by transcranial Doppler and systematic BP were recorded preoperatively; 30 min postoperatively. The new parameter velocity BP index (VBI) was calculated from the postoperative increase ratios of MCAV and BP. The prediction powers of VBI and the increase ratio of MCAV (velocity ratio [VR]) were compared for predicting CHS occurrence. Results: Totally, 6/185 cases suffered CHS. The best-fit cut-off point of 2.0 for VBI was identified, which had 83.3% sensitivity, 98.3% specificity, 62.5% positive predictive value and 99.4% negative predictive value for CHS development. This result is significantly better than VR (33.3%, 97.2%, 28.6% and 97.8%). The area under the curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristic: AUCVBI= 0.981, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.949–0.995; AUCVR= 0.935, 95% CI 0.890–0.966, P = 0.02. Conclusions: The new parameter VBI can more accurately predict patients at risk of CHS after CEA. This observation needs to be validated by larger studies.

Abstract
Atherosclerotic carotid lesion is a major cause of stroke which accounts for up to 20% of ischemic stroke. Aggressive treatment of carotid stenosis may prevent stroke. Currently, carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and carotid artery stenting (CAS) are the first-line treatments for severe carotid stenosis. CEA is superior to medical therapy in preventing stroke and cardiovascular death. CAS has emerged as an alternative to CEA in recent years due to its less invasive nature. However, both CEA and CAS may be associated with adverse hemodynamic changes as well as a variation of carotid baroreflex sensitivity. There is no consensus on which of these two methods is more advantageous concerning the procedure-related hemodynamic changes. This article reviews the hemodynamic changes and baroreflex sensitivity after CEA and CAS.

Abstract
Stroke is the third leading cause of death in developed nations. Up to 88% of strokes are ischemic in nature. Extracranial carotid artery atherosclerotic disease is the third leading cause of ischemic stroke in the general population and the second most common nontraumatic cause among adults younger than 45 years. This article provides comprehensive, evidence-based recommendations for the management of extracranial atherosclerotic disease, including imaging for screening and diagnosis, medical management, and interventional management.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of patients after carotid endarterectomy (CEA) who developed postoperative hypertension or hypotension requiring the administration of intravenous vasoactive medication (IVMED). METHODS We examined consecutive, primary elective CEA performed by 128 surgeons within the Vascular Study Group of New England (VSGNE) database (2003-2010) and compared outcomes of patients who required postoperative IVMED to treat hyper- or hypotension with those who did not. Outcomes included perioperative death, stroke, myocardial infarction (MI), congestive heart failure (CHF), hospital length of stay, and 1-year stroke or death. Propensity score matching was performed to facilitate risk-adjusted comparisons. Multivariable regression models were used to compare the association between IVMED and outcomes in unmatched and matched samples. Factors associated with use of IVMED in postoperative hypertension and hypotension were evaluated, and predictive performance of multivariable models was examined using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. RESULTS Of 7677 elective CEAs identified, 23% received IVMED for treatment of either postoperative hypertension (11%) or hypotension (12%). Preoperative neurological symptomatic status (20%) was similar across cohorts. In the crude sample, the use of IVMED to treat postoperative hypertension was associated with increased 30-day mortality (0.7% vs 0.1%; P < .001), stroke (1.9% vs 1%; P = .018), MI (2.4% vs 0.5%; P < .001), and CHF (1.9% vs 0.5%; P < .001). The use of IVMED to treat postoperative hypotension was also associated with increased perioperative mortality (0.8% vs 0.1%; P < .001), stroke (3.2% vs 1.0%; P < .001), MI (2.7% vs 0.5%; P < .001), and CHF (1.7% vs 0.5%; P < .001), as well as 1-year death (5.1% vs 2.9%; P < .001) or stroke (4.2% vs 2.1%; P < .001). Hospital length of stay was significantly longer among patients who needed IVMED for postoperative hypertension (2.8 ± 4.7 days vs 1.7 ± 5.5 days; P < .001) and hypotension (2.8 ± 5.9 days vs 1.7 ± 5.5 days; P < .001). In multivariable analysis, IVMED for postoperative hypertension was associated with increased MI, stroke, or death (odds ratio, 2.6; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.6-4.1; P < .001). Similarly, IVMED for postoperative hypotension was associated with increased MI, stroke, or death (odds ratio, 3.2; 95% CI, 2.1-5.0; P < .001), as well as increased 1-year stroke or death (hazard ratio, 1.6; 95% CI, 1.2-2.2; P = .003). Smoking, coronary artery disease, and clopidogrel (ROC, 0.59) were associated with postoperative hypertension requiring IVMED, whereas conventional endarterectomy and general anesthesia were associated with postoperative hypotension requiring IVMED (ROC, 0.58). The unitization of IVMED varied between 11% and 38% across VSGNE, and center effect did not affect outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Postoperative hypertension requiring IVMED after CEA is associated with increased perioperative mortality, stroke, and cardiac complications, whereas significant postoperative hypotension is associated with increased perioperative mortality, cardiac, or stroke complications, as well as increased 1-year death or stroke following CEA. The utilization of IVMED varied across centers and, as such, further investigation into this practice needs to occur in order to improve outcomes of these at-risk patients.

Abstract
Carotid surgery variably modifies carotid afferent innervation, thus affecting arterial baroreceptor sensitivity. Low arterial baroreflex sensitivity is a well-known independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this study was to assess the 4-mo effects of carotid endarterectomy (CEA) on arterial baroreceptor sensitivity and cardiovascular autonomic profile in patients with unilateral carotid stenosis. We enrolled 20 patients (72 ± 8 yr) with unilateral >70% carotid stenosis. ECG, beat-by-beat blood pressure, and respiration were continuously recorded before and 126 ± 9 days after CEA, at rest and during a 75° head-up tilt. Both pharmacological (modified Oxford technique, BRS) and spontaneous (index α, spectral analysis) arterial baroreflex sensitivity were assessed. Cardiovascular autonomic profile was evaluated by plasma catecholamines and spectral indexes of cardiac sympathovagal modulation [low-frequency R-R interval (LFRR), low frequency-to high frequency ratio (LF/HF), high-frequency R-R interval (HFRR)] and sympathetic vasomotor control [low-frequency systolic arterial pressure (LFSAP)] obtained from heart rate and SAP variability. After CEA, both the index α and BRS were higher (P < 0.02) at rest. SAP variance decreased both at rest and during tilt (P < 0.02). Before surgery, tilt did not modify the autonomic profile compared with baseline. After CEA, tilt increased LF/HF and LFSAP and reduced HFRR compared with rest (P < 0.02). Four months after CEA was performed, arterial baroreflex sensitivity was enhanced. Accordingly, the patients' autonomic profile had shifted toward reduced cardiac and vascular sympathetic activation and enhanced cardiac vagal activity. The capability to increase cardiovascular sympathetic activation in response to orthostasis was restored. Baroreceptor sensitivity improvement might play an additional role in the more favorable outcome observed in patients after carotid surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The long-term hemodynamic effects of carotid angioplasty and stenting (CAS) are unclear. We performed a longitudinal study to investigate the variations in cerebral hemodynamics in patients undergoing CAS. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed prospective evaluation of 63 symptomatic male patients (19 patients had transient ischemic attack and 44 had minor stroke; mean age: 77.3 ± 6.3 years [range: 51-86]). The mean blood flow velocities (MBFV) and pulsatility index (PI) of the middle cerebral arteries (MCA) on both sides were evaluated using transcranial color-coded Doppler (TCCD) ultrasonography. Cardiac autonomic activities were evaluated by measuring baroreflex sensitivity (BRS). All parameters were measured at baseline prior to CAS and at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after CAS. RESULTS The preoperative MBFV and PI of the ipsilateral MCA were significantly lower than those of the contralateral side. However, after CAS, MBFV in the ipsilateral MCA increased significantly until 2 weeks after stenting, after which the MBFV gradually decreased and remained stable for 1 year after CAS. Further, we observed a nonsignificant increase in MBFV in the contralateral MCA after CAS. In contrast to the MBFV, the BRS values decreased significantly 1 month after stenting and returned to baseline levels 6 months after CAS. CONCLUSIONS Patients with CAS showed improved global cerebral hemodynamic status. However, the BRS did not normalize initially, and baseline value was achieved at 6 months after stenting.

Abstract
Object
The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the long-term effects of carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and carotid artery stenting (CAS) on blood pressure (BP).
Methods
Between January 2003 and December 2009, 134 patients underwent 145 procedures for treatment of carotid artery stenosis. Patients with at least 1 year of clinical and radiographic follow-up after treatment were included in this study. A total of 102 patients met this criterion and were placed in the CEA group (n = 59) or the CAS group (n = 43) according to their treatment. The percentage change in BP decrement and the number of patients with a normotensive BP were evaluated and compared between the groups.
Results
There were no significant differences between the groups with regard to baseline characteristics. Compared with the pretreatment BP, the follow-up BPs were significantly decreased in both groups. At the 1-year followup, the percentage change in the BP decrement was greater in the CAS group (percentage change: systolic BP 9.6% and diastolic BP 12.8%) than in the CEA group (percentage change: systolic BP 5.9% [p = 0.035] and diastolic BP = 8.1% [p = 0.049]), and there were more patients with a normotensive BP in the CAS group (46.5%) than in the CEA group (22.0%, p = 0.012).
Conclusions
Both CEA and CAS have BP-lowering effects. Carotid artery stenting seems to have a better effect than CEA on BP at the 1-year follow-up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Carotid endarterectomy is associated with a profound effect on blood pressure. The aim of this study was to evaluate 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure measurements (ABPMs) after eversion carotid endarterectomy (E-CEA) and conventional carotid endarterectomy (C-CEA). METHODS Seventy-one patients were included in this prospective study (E-CEA [37]/C-CEA [34]). Daytime (8 AM-10 PM) and nighttime (10 PM-8 AM) ABPMs were analyzed preoperatively and on postoperative days 1 and 3. RESULTS Patients' demographics and preoperative antihypertensive regimens were similar in the two groups. Compared with baseline, ABPM decreased on postoperative day 1 in the C-CEA group (P < 0.01) but normalized by day 3. By contrast, ABPM values were unchanged on day 1 in the E-CEA group but increased above baseline on day 3 (P < 0.01). E-CEA was associated with higher ABPM on day 1 (daytime: P < 0.001; nighttime: P < 0.01) and again on day 3 (daytime: P < 0.001; nighttime: P < 0.01). The use of vasodilators was more frequent in the E-CEA group, both in the recovery room (P = 0.007) and on the ward (P = 0.004). CONCLUSION E-CEA may be associated with higher postoperative blood pressure and the need for more additional antihypertensive therapy in the postoperative period compared with C-CEA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The carotid bulb is innervated by the sinus nerve of Hering, a branch of the glossopharyngeal nerve, derived from the third pharyngeal arch. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency, predictors, and outcome of the carotid BR after carotid stent placement according to the location of the plaque lesion. MATERIALS AND METHODS Atherosclerotic carotid plaques of apical versus body lesions were prospectively analyzed in 95 consecutive patients who underwent carotid stent placement. Patients with hypertension after stent placement were excluded, and transient (<3 hours) and prolonged (3-24 hours) BR, together with AEs such as strokes and death, were assessed in the 2 lesion locations (apical versus body). Other factors known to affect the carotid baroreceptor were also investigated, and the results were analyzed by χ(2) or Mann-Whitney U tests. RESULTS Transient BR occurred in 30% of apical lesions in contrast to 70% of body lesions (P = .001). Transient BR showed a significant relationship to lesion location (P = .001), occurring most frequently in body lesions, and to the distance of maximum stenosis from the ICA ostium (P = .001). Hyperperfusion and AE rates (P = .076) in 1 month occurred more frequently in apical lesions. CONCLUSIONS The frequency of transient BR after carotid stent placement was lower in the apical region of the carotid bulb. Different cardiovascular disturbances after carotid stent placement can be attributed to anatomically different areas of the carotid bulb.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is the first-line treatment in severe carotid stenosis to prevent stroke. Because of methodological limitations, the acute impact of CEA on baroreflex function and cerebral autoregulation is not well defined and was therefore investigated by applying a novel algorithm. METHODS AND RESULTS Systemic arterial blood pressure, ECG and respiration during metronomic breathing and Valsalva maneuver were continuously recorded in 18 patients with carotid stenosis before and after CEA, and in 10 healthy controls. Baroreflex sensitivity, frequency spectra of RR intervals and indices for cerebral autoregulation were evaluated by trigonometric regressive spectral analysis. Compared with the controls, patients had impaired baroreflex sensitivity. Baroreflex sensitivity and frequency spectra were not changed by CEA. Cerebral autoregulation of patients with carotid stenosis as calculated by phase shift was reduced compared with controls but it improved significantly after CEA. Improvement of cerebral autoregulation was independent of changes in cerebral blood flow velocity. CONCLUSIONS Baroreflex sensitivity and cerebral autoregulation are impaired in patients with carotid stenosis, conferring a high stroke risk. CEA improves cerebral autoregulation, but does not affect baroreflex sensitivity. For further risk reduction, interventional approaches targeting baroreflex function need to be considered.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Autonomic dysfunction, including increased sympathetic drive and blunted baroreflex, has repeatedly been observed in acute stroke. Of clinical importance is that the stroke-related autonomic imbalance seems to be linked to worse outcome after stroke. Here, we discuss the role of baroreflex impairment in acute stroke and its possible pathophysiological and therapeutic relevance. Summary of Review- Possible mechanisms linking baroreflex impairment with unfavorable outcome in stroke may include increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, promotion of secondary brain injury due to local inflammation, hyperglycemia, or altered cerebral perfusion. CONCLUSIONS We suggest therefore that the modifying of autonomic functions may have important therapeutic implications in acute ischemic as well as in hemorrhagic stroke.

Abstract
Object
Hemodynamic instability may complicate carotid angioplasty and stenting in up to 40% of patients. The authors have previously demonstrated that primary self-expanding stent placement alone can gradually dilate severely stenosed carotid arteries without the use of balloons. The authors hypothesized that eliminating the balloon would reduce carotid baroreceptor stimulation, thereby decreasing the incidence of hemodynamic instability.
Methods
Ninety-seven high surgical risk patients with symptomatic, severely stenosed carotid arteries were treated with the intention of using a self-expanding stent alone. Seventy-seven arteries (79%) were treated with stenting alone, and 20 required angioplasty (21%).
Results
Intraprocedural bradycardia (heart rate < 60 bpm) developed in 29 patients (38%) and hypotension (systolic blood pressure < 90 mm Hg) occurred in 1 patient (1%) treated with stenting alone. Fourteen patients (70%) who underwent angioplasty and stenting had bradycardia, and hypotension developed in 4 (20%). Atropine, glycopyrrolate, or vasopressors were required in 8% of patients who received stenting alone, compared to 30% of patients who underwent angioplasty. In the first 24 hours after treatment, hypotension or bradycardia developed in 25 patients (32%) who had undergone stent placement alone, and in 15 patients (75%) after stent placement and balloon angioplasty. There was no difference in the occurrence of intra- or postprocedural hypertension (systolic blood pressure > 160 mm Hg) between patients treated with stenting alone or stenting and balloons. Factors independently associated with hemodynamic depression included baseline heart rate and balloon use.
Conclusions
Hemodynamic instability during and after carotid artery stenting was observed more frequently when balloon angioplasty was required than when stent placement was performed without concurrent balloon angioplasty.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Local anaesthetic infiltration into the carotid sinus during carotid endarterectomy (CEA) has been recommended to minimise blood pressure fluctuations but its use remains controversial. The aim of this meta-analysis was to determine whether intra-operative administration of local anaesthetic reduces the incidence of haemodynamic instability following CEA. MATERIALS AND METHODS A search of the Medline, Pubmed and Embase databases and the Current Controlled Trials register identified four trials, which met the pre-defined inclusion criteria for data extraction. Pooled odds ratios with 95 per cent confidence intervals (c.i.) for the development of post-operative hypotension and hypertension were calculated using a random-effects model. RESULTS Outcomes of 432 patients were studied. Local anaesthetic blockade of the carotid sinus was associated with a pooled odds ratio of 1.25 (95 per cent c.i. 0.496 to 3.15); p=0.216) and 1.28 (95 per cent c.i. 0.699 to 2.33; p=0.428) for the development of post-operative hypotension and hypertension respectively. Although none reach significance there was a trend towards increased risk of developing a complication in those patients who received local anaesthetic. CONCLUSIONS There are insufficient data to determine the role of intra-operative local anaesthetic administration in reducing post-operative blood pressure lability following CEA. Conversely, the possibility of harm cannot be excluded on the basis of the currently available data.
