Cognitive Deterioration in Bilateral Asymptomatic Severe Carotid Stenosis
Stroke 45:2072-2077, Buratti, L.,et al, 2014
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Our findings suggest that patients with asymptomatic bilateral severe internal carotid artery stenosis may be at risk of developing cognitive impairment. The evaluation of the hemodynamic status, besides providing insights about the possible mechanism behind the cognitive dysfunction present in carotid atherosclerotic disease, may be of help for the individuation of subjects deserving earlier and more aggressive treatments.
