Effect of Removing Carotid Stenosis on Cognitive Function / 国际脑血管病杂志

ABSTRACT

The effect of removing carotid stenosis on cognitive function is receiving considerable attention.Both carotid endarterectomy and carotid artery stenting improve cognitive function.The improvement of cognitive function after the removing carotid stenosis may be associated with the increased cerebral perfusion,the reduction of white matter lesion and the incidence of silent lacunar infarction.
