Key result
Carotid endarterectomy was associated with a higher rate of neuropsychological deterioration at 1 month compared to other vascular surgeries (63% vs 29%, p < 0.05).
Why the study?
Does carotid endarterectomy increase the frequency of subclinical cerebral complications compared to other vascular surgery procedures?

May warrant cognitive monitoring after CEA; leaves open causality and long-term impact.
Vanninen et al. (2010) conducted a cohort in Carotid endarterectomy (n=36). Carotid endarterectomy vs. Other vascular surgery procedures was evaluated on Neuropsychological deterioration (p=< 0.05). Carotid endarterectomy was associated with a higher rate of neuropsychological deterioration at 1 month compared to other vascular surgeries (63% vs 29%, p < 0.05).
