Resumo

A angioplastia carotídea constitui uma opção terapêutica eficaz para o tratamento da doença carotídea aterosclerótica significativa, estando por vezes associada a alterações hemodinâmicas transitórias que influenciam a pressão arterial. Apresenta-se o caso clínico de uma mulher de 73 anos de idade com hipertensão arterial crónica refractária, que após ser submetida a angioplastia carotídea bilateral permaneceu normotensa durante um follow up de três anos.

Palavras-chave:

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.
