The results from this limited pilot study showed no postoperative deterioration in level of cognitive function, and some aspects actually improved significantly. Patients with more severe degrees of arterial obstruction were older and generally were found to have a lower level of cognitive ability. However, their response to operation was as good as that of the patients with milder impairment. Citing Literature Volume1, Issue9March 1974Pages 316-317 RelatedInformation
