Prevention of Carotid Angioplasty-induced Bradycardia and Hypotension with Temporary Venous Pacemakers

Abstract

Angioplasty-induced bradycardia is a common condition, and it is more prevalent in radiation-induced stenosis and with symptomatic lesions. Temporary venous demand pacing is a safe procedure and may prevent life-threatening, baroreceptor-induced hypotension.
