Neurologic and Neuropsychometric Outcome in Patients Undergoing Carotid Endarterectomy
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Carotid endarterectomy and Neurological and neuropsychological evaluations for Carotid Artery Stenosis and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 817 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine how well patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy will perform on a battery of tests to assess brain function before and after surgery as compared to a control group of patients undergoing spine surgery. This study will serve to: (a) determine incidence of neurologic/neuropsychometric change in patients undergoing carotid artery surgery, and (b) to ascertain the time it takes for these changes to resolve.
