Summary

The purpose of this study is to understand how carotid endarterectomy (CEA) or percutaneous carotid angioplasty and stenting (CAS) affect memory and thinking resulting in improving or worsening of thinking or memory. There have been many studies on this subject, some finding that certain patients gain improvement in their brain function and others might get worse. The goal of this study is to discover which patients are more likely to have improved cognitive functioning. Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and percutaneous carotid angioplasty and stenting (CAS) are not investigational and are an accepted treatment for your condition. In addition, subjects that choose not to undergo surgery will also be included in this study.
