Abstract: Objective To study the effect of CBT resection on blood pressure in essential hypertensive subjects.Methods Clinical data of 24 essential hypertensive patients (BP ＞ 140/90 mmHg or was using anti-hypertensive drugs) with CBT resection from May 2005 to March 2016 was analyzed,retrospectively.The heart rate,blood pressure were recorded continuously during the peri-operative and follow-up period.All of the patients were followed-up for at least 1 year.Results The systolic blood pressure(SBP) and pulse pressure (PP) decreased 1-3 months after the operation,and the difference was significant (P ＜ 0.001),while the diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and heart rate (HR) did not change significantly (P ＞ 0.05).Postoperative patients used less amount of antihypertensive drugs,but the difference was statistically not significant (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Unilateral CBT resection is associated with short-term to intermediate-term lowering of BP in hypertensive patients (P ＞ 0.05).
