Carotid revascularization may lead to improved cognitive function beyond stroke prevention.
This article summarizes the conclusions from available studies on the effects of carotid …

Background Current management guidelines for the treatment of carotid stenosis are
controversial. We performed this meta-analysis to evaluate the perioperative safety of carotid …

Objective Carotid interventions are important in helping to reduce the risk of stroke for

Objective Asymptomatic carotid stenosis has been associated with a progressive decline in
neurocognitive function. However, the effect of carotid endarterectomy (CEA) on this process …

BACKGROUND Postoperative cognitive decline (pCD) occurs frequently (6 to 30%) after
