Background: The role of carotid endarterectomy for the treatment of carotid bifurcation atherosclerosis is now well established. The operative procedures for carotid stenosis, the eversion techniques require an oblique circumferential incision of the internal carotid artery (ICA) at the carotid bulb and transection of the carotid sinus nerve fibers. In this study, the incidence of postoperative hypertension (HTN) after eversion carotid endarterectomy (E-CEA) was compared with conventional carotid endarterectomy (C-CEA) in the shortand mid-term follow-up periods. Methods: Baseline blood pressures were recorded in all patients 1-2 weeks before the CEA. Systolic blood pressure values and diastolic blood pressure values were 1⁄4.078). The number of patients that had continued administeration of antihypertensive agents were, 4 (5.2%) and 3(3.4%) in the E-CEA group and C-CEA group, respectively. Normalization of arterial blood pressure was achieved in the other patients. No significant postoperative neurological, surgical, or cardiac complications developed in any patient in either group. Conclusion: As a result, the researchers suggest that there is no difference between the two groups after E-CEA control of hypertension at the early and middle periods.
