Abstract

Abstract:

Stroke is still the leading cause of the mortality and disability of Chinese adults with the aging of society and the deterioration of cardiovascular risk factors. Carotid stenosis is the main cause of adult ischemic strokes and an independent risk factor of cognitive disorders. Carotid revascularization, including carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and carotid artery stenting (CAS), contributes to decreasing the long-term stroke risk and improving the impaired cognitive function in patients with carotid stenosis. In this article, we reviewed the mechanism of cognitive disorders caused by carotid stenosis and the effects of carotid revascularization on cognitive function.

Key words: Carotid stenosis, Cognitive disorder, Carotid endarterectomy, Carotid artery stenting
