ABSTRACT
The brain tissue of patients with chronic internal carotid artery occlusion is in a state of hypoperfusion for a long time, which often presents as asymptomatic cognitive impairment. Even with the best medical treatment, patients with chronic internal carotid artery occlusion still have a higher risk of stroke and cognitive impairment. Recent studies have shown that recanalization can reduce the incidence of stroke in patients with chronic internal carotid artery occlusion, but whether it can improve the cognitive function remains controversial. This article reviews the treatment of chronic internal carotid artery occlusion and its effect on cognitive function.
