BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Cognitive improvement has been reported after carotid
revascularization and attributed to treating stenosis and correcting hypoperfusion. This study …

PURPOSE:: Carotid angioplasty and stenting (CAS) is increasingly being used as a
treatment alternative to endarterectomy (CEA) for patients with significant carotid stenosis …

Objective Carotid intervention is safe and effective in stroke prevention in appropriately
selected patients. Despite minimal neurologic complications, procedure-related subclinical …

Objectives During carotid interventions there is a risk of distal cerebral embolization. Here
we prospectively investigate whether subclinical microembolization seen on postoperative …

OBJECTIVE: Distal cerebral embolization is a known complication of carotid interventions.
We prospectively investigated whether subclinical microembolization seen on postoperative …

Background Carotid revascularization, including carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and carotid
angioplasty and stenting (CAS), is performed for stroke risk reduction but may also impact …

Objective Carotid interventions are important in helping to reduce the risk of stroke for
patients with high-grade carotid artery stenosis; however, subclinical cerebral microemboli …

Objectives Cognitive function has not been evaluated systematically in the context of carotid
endarterectomy (CEA) versus stenting (CAS). Cognitive decline can occur from …

Background The narrowing of the carotid arteries with plaque formation represents a major
risk factor for ischemic stroke and cognitive impairments. Carotid angioplasty and stenting is …

OBJECTIVES: Cognitive function has not been evaluated systematically in the context of
carotid endarterectomy (CEA) versus carotid artery stenting (CAS). Cognitive decline can …
