Summary
The isolated response of the carotid bodies to local stimulation with adenosine has not been
researched in humans. There are single reports indicating that intravenous administration of
adenosine causes hyperventilation through activating the carotid bodies.
Adenosine will be injected intraarterially during invasive treatment (percutaneous carotid
artery stenting, CAS) or diagnostic (arteriography) procedures and their conduct will only
slightly influence the standard scheme of the procedure.
