Primary Endpoint
to determine the effect of carotid artery stenting, on cognitive function after carotid artery stenting in patients with severe carotid artery stenosis

Study Overview

Brief Summary

To determine the effect of carotid artery stenting, on cognitive function, in patients with high grade carotid artery stenosis

Detailed Description

Single Center, Case Controlled design using pre and post stent cognitive function testin. Patients will serve as self controls to observe the effect, if any, of carotid stent placement on cognitive function in asymptomatic patients with high grade carotid artery stenosis
