Does luminal restoring of carotid artery stenosis improve cognitive functions in patients with cerebrovascular disease?
This review assesses the potential impact of carotid artery revascularization on cognitive functions in patients with cerebrovascular disease.
Evidence on cognitive effects of carotid revascularization remains inconclusive; leaves open the need for dedicated RCTs.
The purpose of this review is to assess the impact of luminal restoring of carotid artery stenosis on cognitive functions. Therefore, papers dealing with the neuropsychological influence of carotid artery stenosis and studies comparing the neuropsychological course after respective recanalization have been included.
