Twenty men had their cerebral function measured preoperatively and three months after carotid endarterectomy using the Halstead-Reitan neuropsychological test battery. Thirteen patients were cerebrally impaired preoperatively, but 12 of them improved appreciably after surgery. Changes in internal carotid arterial blood flow measured preoperatively showed no significant correlation with the improvement in neuropsychological status. We think that carotid endarterectomy carries an even better prophylaxis for the brain as a whole than had been thought.
20名男性在颈动脉内膜切除术前及术后3个月使用霍尔斯特德-赖坦神经心理测试组对其脑功能进行了测量。13名患者术前存在脑功能损害，但其中12名术后有明显改善。术前测量的颈内动脉血流变化与神经心理状态的改善无显著相关性。我们认为，颈动脉内膜切除术对整个大脑的预防作用比之前认为的更好。
