Article Synopsis
- Stroke is a major global health issue, particularly during recovery, and this study explores the chronic phase of healing beyond immediate interventions.
- Researchers used various methods like MRI and plasma NFL measurement in male and female mice to track brain injury evolution and found ongoing issues like edema and tissue remodeling up to 30 days post-stroke.
- The study highlights the role of chronic inflammation and blood-brain barrier dysfunction in long-term neurodegeneration, emphasizing the need for innovative treatment strategies for stroke recovery.
Introduction: Carotid revascularization procedures are effective in stroke prevention in appropriately selected patients. We sought to understand the effects of the carotid intervention on cognitive function in a well-defined cohort of prospectively recruited patients.
Methods: A total of 170 consecutive patients undergoing carotid intervention for severe carotid stenosis were recruited.
