Abstract
Neurocognitive performance among patients with carotid artery stenosis or occlusion may deteriorate because of chronic cerebral hypoperfusion. Carotid artery stenting (CAS) has been reported to improve cerebral perfusion and neurocognitive function. The purpose of the study was to evaluate cerebral metabolism using F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) after CAS.
