title: [Blood pressure control after bilateral carotid angioplasty in a patient with severe hypertension--case report].
abstract: Carotid artery angioplasty with stenting is an effective treatment for carotid artery stenosis, but is frequently associated with acute transient hemodynamic changes. We present the case of a 73-year-old female patient with long-standing refractory hypertension who remained normotensive during a three-year follow-up after undergoing staged bilateral carotid angioplasty.
