Long-term Neurocognitive Sequelae of Subclinical Microembolization During Carotid Interventions
Microembolization is commonly associated with carotid artery stenting (CAS), but our
understanding of subclinical microembolization is superficial. Through collaborative effects
of multidisciplinary team-experts, novel approaches, and longitudinal evaluations, we hope
to better understand the clinical significance and long-term cognitive effects of
microemboli. This proposal may change our current clinical practice by providing a better
outcome measure for carotid interventions and improving outcomes of CAS procedures through
risk factor stratification. Our central hypothesis is that development of subclinical
microemboli is associated with decline in cognitive function following CAS and that the risk
of development of microemboli themselves is associated with patient- and procedure-related
factors. We hope that this prospective study will help to clarify these important issues in
the era of rapidly evolving percutaneous interventions.
