Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • 40-80 years of age
  • Right hand dominate
  • Asymptomatic:defined as: no symptoms of TIA/stroke in the previous 6 months
  • Baseline doppler study with a peak systolic velocity of 400cm/sec
  • Patient is deemed candidate for carotid artery stenting
  • TIMI flow of 1,2 or 3
  • 80% or greater stenosis of distal common or internal carotid artery, as determined angiographically, as defined in ACAS
  • Subjects are able to give informed consent
  • Subjects are willing/able to complete follow-up visits

Exclusion Criteria:

  • History of major stroke: within the past 6 months
  • History of Alzheimers disease or Dementia
  • Unable or willing to complete the baseline and 20 days neuro-cognitive testing planned major surgery within the next 2 months
  • Planned intervention opposite carotid artery within 2 months
  • Ineligibility for carotid stent procedure due to anatomy, thrombus, or inability to complete anti-platelet therapy
  • Any individual identified with cognitive impairment which would affect their performance during cognitive testing.
