Relationship of Inter-Arm Systolic Blood Pressure Difference with Subclavian Artery Stenosis and Vertebral Artery Stenosis in Patients Undergoing Carotid Endarterectomy
Introduction: The aim of this study was to examine the association of inter-arm systolic
blood pressure difference (IASBPD) with carotid artery stenosis, subclavian
artery stenosis and vertebral artery stenosis in patients who underwent
carotid endarterectomy.Methods: A total of 141 patients (29 females, 112 males; mean age 71.2 ±10.4
years; range 47 to 92 years) who underwent carotid endarterectomy between
September 2010 and December 2017 were retrospectively evaluated. We
classified patients into four groups according to the IASBPD ˂ 10 mmHg,
≥ 10 mm Hg, ≥ 20 mmHg and ≥ 30 mmHg. The stenosi s of
both subclavian and ver ...
