  • Title: Intracerebral hemorrhage following carotid endarterectomy: a hypertensive complication?
    Author: Caplan LR, Skillman J, Ojemann R, Fields WS.
    Journal: Stroke; 1978; 9(5):457-60. PubMed ID: 705826.
    Abstract:
    Two patients with transient ischemic attacks and subsequent minor cerebral infarction had repair of very tight carotid stenosis, 4 and 5 weeks respectively after their stroke. Each developed intracerebral hemorrhage when hypertension was uncontrolled during the post-operative period. Hypertension is a significant complication of carotid endarterectomy, and may be a prominent factor in the development of intracerebral hemorrhage post-carotid endarterectomy.
