| Proposed Analysis: | Studies have shown that carotid artery stenosis (CAS) can also cause cognitive impairment in addition to cerebral ischemia and stroke. It has been found that pre-existing cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) affects the recovery of cognitive function by carotid revascularization in CAS patients, indicating that CSVD plays a role in cognitive impairment in CAS patients. Understanding the correlation between CSVD, CAS, and cognitive impairment can conduce to guide the preoperative assessment and have timely treatment of CSVD, to improve cognitive function. This article reviews the mechanism of cognitive impairment caused by CAS and CSVD, the correlation between CAS and CSVD, and the impact of CSVD on CAS cognition and treatment methods. |
