Abstract
A 61-year-old man underwent carotid stenting with the distal-balloon protection system for symptomatic carotid artery stenosis. During the procedure, progressive elevation of the systolic blood pressure occurred, reaching a peak of 220 mm Hg immediately following deflation of the distal balloon. This was associated with severe headaches and progressive deterioration in the mental status to a coma. Head CT scan showed massive subarachnoidal hemorrhage contralateral to the stented side and a secondary intracerebral hemorrhage. Despite immediate successful blood pressure control, his condition deteriorated and he died 2 days later.Keywords
