Abstract
Stroke is a significant complication associated with both carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and carotid artery stenting (CAS). Hypertension is a strong risk factor for development of carotid stenosis and is present in over 80% of patients undergoing carotid revascularization. Antihypertensive therapy is associated with reduced stroke risk in patients with carotid artery stenosis. Our aim was to determine whether antihypertensive medication regimens can impact stroke risk in patients following carotid revascularization.
