Fig 1 Change (follow-up vs baseline) in the cognitive scores of a composite of all domains tested, and of each individual test, in patients undergoing carotid artery stenting (CAS) and carotid endarterectomy (CEA) for asymptomatic high-grade carotid artery stenosis. A positive change score indicates improvement in cognitive function after the procedure, a negative score indicates deterioration.

Fig. 2 Representative diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance images of the brain before and after carotid artery stenting (CAS) demonstrating a silent cortical microinfarct that did not manifest as a frank neurologic deficit on thorough neurological examination. A, Preprocedure diffusion-weighted coronal view. B, Preprocedure fluid-attenuated inversion-recovery (FLAIR) transverse image. C, Preprocedure diffusion-weighted transverse view. D, Diffusion-weighted transverse view obtained 24 hours postcarotid stenting. Note new infarction (circled).
