Objective: Hypotension is recognized as a common complication after carotid artery stenting, but its incidence and the risk factors associated with it are uncertain. Therefore, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate and identify risk factors for hypotension after surgery. Methods: We retrieved risk factors from eight databases for case-control and cross-sectional studies of hypotension after carotid artery stenting according to PRISMA guidelines on Nov. 28th, 2022. Data were analyzed by using R4.2.1 and Review Manager 5.3. Results: A total of 2,843 samples were searched, and 17 publications were included in the analysis. The meta-analysis results showed that the incidence of hypotension after surgery was 28.6% (95% CI [0.225,0.347]). Age ≥65 years (OR=4.55, 95% CI [2.50, 8.29], P<0.00001), stenosis site (bulb) (OR=4.41, 95% CI [2.50, 7.79], P<0.00001), severe stenosis (OR= 3.56, 95% CI [1.62, 7.85], P=0.002), stenosis proximity (≤10 mm) to bifurcation (OR=2.69, 95% CI [1.74, 4.15], P<0.00001), calcified plaques (OR=4.64, 95% CI [1.93, 11.14], P=0.0006), post-balloon dilation (OR=5.95, 95% CI [2.31, 15.31], P=0.0002), bilateral carotid stenting (OR=30.51, 95% CI [2.33, 399.89], P=0.009), and intravenous fluid intake/mL on the first postoperative day (MD=444.99, 95% CI [141.40, 748.59], P=0.004) were risk factors for hypotension after surgery. Conclusions: A high incidence of hypotension was observed after carotid artery stenting. Age, stenosis site, severe stenosis, stenosis proximity to bifurcation, calcified plaques, post-balloon dilation, type of surgery, and intravenous fluid intake were identified as risk factors.
