Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the clinical and radiologic implications of the intraoperative microemboli during carotid revascularization.

Conditions

• Carotid Endarterectomy
• Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty
• Cognitive Aspects
• Diffusion Weighted MRI

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	carotid stenting	A group of patients will be operated by endovascular technique. Then will be analyzed and compared with the other group in relation to clinical and radiological criteria, emphasizing the cognitive aspects.
PROCEDURE	carotid endarterectomy	A group of patients will be operated by open technique. Then will be analyzed and compared with the other group in relation to clinical and radiological criteria, emphasizing the cognitive aspects
