title: [Arterial hypertension after carotid endarterectomy].
abstract: Arterial hypertension as a consequence of carotid endarterectomy is a relatively frequent event and potentially dangerous because of the development of central postoperative neurological deficiency. The main pathogenetic theories are reviewed, with reference to hypotensive phenomena and preventive action also. Stress is laid on the importance of recognising potential risk factors, such as the use of anaesthetics which interfere with cerebral flow self-regulation mechanisms, diabetes and atherosclerosis.
