“…Although not statistically related to the incidence of embolic lesions in this small study (with only 2 new silent lesions), these events could be clinically meaningful from a neurological point of Characteristics of New Embolic Events in All 3 Groups Table 3 Characteristics of New Embolic Events in All 3 Groups view. Other cardiovascular interventions associated with a notable rate of microembolic events, such as cardiac surgery (22)(23)(24) and carotid stenting (25), have been correlated with post-intervention neuropsychological deficits, although the embolic load could not always be correlated with the degree of cognitive deficits. Silent intracranial embolism and PVAC technology.…”

“…On the one hand, their persistence in time, as actual ischemic injuries, seems to be only partial 33,34 ; on the other hand their association with cognitive impairment have been repeatedly stated 35,36 but never definitively confirmed.…”

“…undergoing respectively CEA or BMT, reported a better complication rate after carotid surgery (2% vs 16%) [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40] .…”

“…In carotid endarterectomy the most vulnerable phase for microembolization is the dissection of the carotid triangle which therefore should be carried out by the ''no-touch'' technique [32]. With regard to microembolization the current literature still favours surgery over endovascular procedures [29][30][31]. Yet, further randomized studies investigating microembolization and consecutive effects on cognitive function in the long term have been suggested.…”

“…The authors reported a mean of 5 events in 37 CEA procedures (74%) and a mean of 60 microembolic events in 50 patients (100%). Additionally the cognitive capability worsened postoperatively in 18 CAS patients (36%) but only in 2 CEA patients (4%) [31]. In carotid endarterectomy the most vulnerable phase for microembolization is the dissection of the carotid triangle which therefore should be carried out by the ''no-touch'' technique [32].…”
