ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the influence of collateral circulation recruitment on cognitive functions in patients with severe unilateral stenosis or unilateral occlusion of the internal carotid artery by using TCD.Methods A total of 176 patients with severe unilateral stenosis or unilateral occlusion of the internal carotid artery were enrolled and were divided into a single vessel collateral group(n=80,45.5 %),a multiple vessel collateral group(n=74,42.1%) and a no collateral group(n=22,12.5 %).In order to study the influence of single vessel collateral circulation on cognitive functions,the single vessel collateral group was further divided into an anterior communicating subgroup(AcoA),a posterior communicating subgroup(PcoA),an ocular artery subgroup(OA),and a normal control subgroup.All patients and 34 normal controls(NC) received MoCA,and scores for the overall assessment and individual domains were analyzed.Results Compared with the control group (26.3± 1.1,4.7 ± 0.5,2.0 ± 0.0,3.6 ± 1.0),the multiple vessel collateral group,the single vessel collateral group and the no collateral group had lower overall scores (24.2 ± 1.7,21.9 ± 2.3,19.0 ± 2.4),lower executive/visuospatial function(3.9 ± 0.7,3.2 ± 0.8,2.4 ± 0.6),lower abstraction (1.7 ± 0.5,1.6±0.5,1.3±0.5),and lower delayed recall(2.9±0.8,1.9±0.8,1.6±0.5)(F=80.52,63.21,12,48.99,all P<0.05);both collateral groups had lower scores in subtraction and attention (4.6±0.6 vs.5.2±0.7,4.3±0.7 vs.5.2±0.7);the no collateral group had lower scores in orientation(4.7±0.7 vs.5.7±0.5)(P<0.05).Compared with the multiple vessel collateral group,both the single vessel collateral group and the no collateral group had lower overall scores(21.9±2.3 vs.24.2 ± 1.7,19.0± 2.4 vs.24.2 ± 1.7),executive/visuospatial function (3.2 ± 0.8 vs.3.9 ± 0.7,2.4±0.6 vs.3.9±0.7),subtraction and attention(4.6±0.6 vs.5.1±0.5,4.3±0.7 vs.5.1±0.5) (all P< 0.05);the no collateral group had lower scores in abstraction (1.3 ± 0.5 vs.1.7 ± 0.5),delayed recall(1.6 ± 0.5 vs.2.9 ± 0.8) and orientation (4.7 ± 0.7 vs.5.7 ± 0.5) (all P < 0.05).Compared with the single vessel collateral group,the no collateral group had lower overall scores(19.0 ±2.4 vs.21.9±2.3),executive/visuospatial function(2.4±0.6 vs.3.2±0.8)and orientation(4.7± 0.7 vs.5.7 ± 0.6) (all P <0.05).In single vessel collateral patients,the AcoA subgroup had higher MoCAscores than the PcoA subgroup(22.9± 1.7 vs.21.2±2.7) (P<0.05),and the AcoA subgroup had higher scores in delayed recall than the OA subgroup(2.2±0.8 vs.1.7±0.6) (P< 0.05).Conclusions Severe unilateral stenosis or unilateral occlusion in the internal carotid artery can result in cognitive impairment,especially in executive/visuospatial function,abstraction,delayed recall,subtraction and attention.However,collateral circulation can protect cognitive function in patients with unilateral internal carotid artery stenosis or occlusion and multiple vessel collateral circulation is more effective than single vessel collateral circulation,and AcoA is more effective than either PcoA or OA,but the difference between PcoA and OA is not significant.
