The effect of carotid artery stenting (CAS) and carotid endarterectomy (CEA) on cognitive
function is unclear. Both cognitive improvement and decline have been reported after CAS …

Background: The objective of this study was to review the recent literature regarding the
neurocognitive consequences of carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and carotid stenting (CAS) …

Background: Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) can inhibit recurrent ischemic events
effectively in patients with acute or chronic cerebral ischemia. However, it is still unclear …

BACKGROUND: Carotid artery revascularization can result in new ischemic brain lesions on
diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging. This study aimed to investigate the …

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: This study sought to randomly compare cerebral protection with ANGIOGUARD
(Cordis Corporation, Bridgewater, New Jersey) with Mo. Ma (Invatec/Medtronic Vascular Inc …

Objective Proximal embolic protection devices (P-EPD) and distal filters (DF) are used to
prevent distal cerebral embolizations during carotid artery stenting (CAS). We compared …

Atherosclerosis carotid stenosis is associated with stroke and cognitive impairment.
Progressive cognitive decline may be an even greater problem than stroke, but it has not …

Background—Meta-analyses of randomized trials have shown an increased risk of
periprocedural stroke after carotid artery stenting (CAS) compared with carotid …

OBJECT The incidence and risk factors of microembolic lesions on MR diffusion-weighted
imaging (DWI) were analyzed after the endovascular coiling of unruptured intracranial …
