Objective: Carotid artery stenosis is an important etiological cause of cerebrovascular events and stent implantation is widely used as an alternative treatment to endarterectomy. In this study, we compared the mid and late-term results of carotid artery stenosis patients who underwent endarterectomy and stent implantation. Methods: Patients who underwent endarterectomy (Group A, n: 27) and endovascular stent implantation (Group B, n: 22) due to carotid artery stenosis between 2008 and 2014 were included in the study. All examination, laboratory data and radiological images were collected from the hospital database. Morbidity and mortality developed in the mid (1-12 months) and late term (>12 months) periods were evaluated retrospectively. Results: While there were no neurological complications and restenosis in the midterm in Group A, 2 patients (9.09%) had stroke and 2 patients (9.09%) had restenosis in Group B. In the late-term, while there were no neurological complications in Group A, stroke in 3 patients (13.63%) (p=0.048) in Group B, restenosis was observed in 1 patient in Group A and 5 patients in Group B (3.7% vs 22.72%, p=0.043). Conclusion: We recommend endarterectomy as the primary approach for carotid artery revascularization and percutaneous approach especially in high-risk patients with recurrent ICA stenosis and distal carotid artery lesions.

Background. Carotid artery stenosis is closely related to cognitive dysfunction, in which decreased cerebral perfusion is one of the important factors. Both carotid artery stent implantation and carotid endarterectomy can relieve stenosis and increase cerebral perfusion. In this study, we aimed to compare the effects of carotid artery stent implantation and endarterectomy on cognitive function. Methods. A total of 98 patients with carotid artery stenosis hospitalized in our hospital from July 2015 to January 2017 were included. Among them, 50 cases underwent carotid artery stent implantation treatment as stent implantation group (CAS group), and 48 cases underwent carotid artery endarterectomy treatment as carotid endarterectomy group (CEA group). Using the Mini-Mental State Examination Scale (MMSE Scale) and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale (MoCA Scale), the cognitive function scores of the two groups of patients before and after 3 and 6 months of operation were measured, and the patients were also measured before and after surgery, after the serum NSE, hs-CRP content. Results. The serum NSE, hs-CRP content, MMSE score, and MoCA score of the two groups before treatment were not statistically significant ( P > 0.05 ). The MMSE score and MoCA score of the two groups of patients before treatment were lower than the normal value, suggesting carotid artery stenosis combined with different degrees of cognitive dysfunction. Carotid artery stenosis is different, and patients’ cognitive function is also different. The MMSE score and MoCA score of the two groups at 3 and 6 months after operation were higher than before treatment, and there was a statistically significant difference between 6 and 3 months after operation ( P < 0.05 ), but at each time There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups ( P > 0.05 ). The NSE content of the two groups of patients after operation decreased compared with that before treatment, and the decrease in 6 months after operation was more obvious than that in March ( P < 0.05 ). However, the difference between the two groups at each time point was not statistically significant ( P > 0.05 ). The content of hs-CRP in the two groups of patients was higher than that before the operation, and the CAS group was significantly higher than the CEA group; the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05 ). Conclusion. Carotid artery stent and carotid endarterectomy are effective in improving the cognitive function of patients with carotid stenosis, but there is no significant difference between the two.

Abstract. Background: After carotid artery stenting (CAS), neurological complications that cannot be explained with imaging methods may develop. In our study we aimed to show, using oxidative stress markers, isolated oxidative damage and resulting neurological findings following CAS in patients with asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis. Patients and methods: We included 131 neurologically asymptomatic patients requiring CAS. The neurological findings were evaluated using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) prior to the procedure, one hour post-procedure, and two days after. Patients with elevated mRS scores but with or without typical hyperintense lesions observed on an MRI and with changes of oxidative stress marker levels at the time (Δtotal-thiol, Δtotal antioxidative status [TAS], and Δtotal oxidant status [TOS]) were evaluated. Results: In the neurological examination carried out one hour prior to the procedure, there were 92 patients with mRS = 0, 20 with mRS = 1, and 12 with mRS = 2. When Δtotal-thiol, ΔTAS, and ΔTOS values and the mRS were compared, it was observed that as the difference in oxidative parameters increased, clinical deterioration also increased proportionally (p = 0.001). Conclusions: We demonstrate a possible correlation between oxidative damage and neurological findings after CAS which could not be explained by routine imaging methods.
