Severe carotid artery stenosis evaluated by ultrasound is associated with post stroke vascular cognitive impairment
BACKGROUND Acute ischemic stroke has been recognized as one key cause of vascular cognitive impairment (VCI). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the correlation between carotid artery stenosis and post VCI in acute ischemic stroke patients. METHODS In this study, B-mode ultrasound was applied to measure the degree of carotid artery stenosis. After 1 year, the stroke patients' cognitive...
متن کاملCorrelation of common carotid artery intima media thickness, intracranial arterial stenosis and post-stroke cognitive impairment.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Atherosclerosis of the intracranial arteries is a well-recognized cause of ischemic stroke in Asians, and extracranial carotid artery disease is more often seen in western countries. The relationship of common carotid artery intima-media thickness (CCA-IMT), intracranial arteries stenosis (ICS) and vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) after ischemic stroke has not been ful...
متن کاملAssociation between Carotid Artery Stenosis and Cognitive Impairment in Stroke Patients: A Cross-Sectional Study
To investigate potential associations between carotid artery stenosis and cognitive impairment among patients with acute ischemic stroke and to provide important clinical implications. We measured the degree of carotid artery stenosis and recorded the Mini-Mental State Examination score (MMSE) at admission in 3116 acute ischemic stroke patients. The association between carotid stenosis and cogn...
متن کاملSocioeconomic Factors Associated With Mortality Rate Caused by Severe Stroke
Background: Stroke is one of the most important causes of disability-adjusted life years lost. Low socioeconomic status is associated with increased stroke-related morbidity and mortality. Objective: This study aimed to investigate in-hospital mortality rate caused by severe cases of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke and its relationship with patients’ socioeconomic status. Materials and Method...
متن کاملCarotid angioplasty and stenting in a patient with high grade stenosis of Internal Carotid Artery associated with both vertebral arteries and contralateral carotid occlusion
Severe internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis is a common cause of cerebrovascular accident (CVA) in middle-aged patients. Contralateral carotid occlusion (CCO) in patients with severe ICA stenosis is associated with high risk of CVA. Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is associated with more complications in patients with CCO than those without CCO. In this study, we present the case of a 61-year-ol...
