The quality of life and the cognitive performance of patients with extracranial carotid stenosis were investigated 8-11 years after treatment in 18 non-operatively treated patients and 44 patients treated with carotid endarterectomy. The cognitive performance was compared with data on a normal control group. Cognitive performance was assessed with neuropsychological tests and the quality of life by personal interview based on a questionnaire. Most of the carotid stenosis patients recovered well both subjectively and cognitively regardless of the type of treatment. Only the subgroup operated twice was subjectively worse compared to the other groups. Even 10 years later the cognitive performance of carotid stenosis patients was remarkably close to normal.
对18例非手术治疗患者和44例接受颈动脉内膜切除术的患者在治疗后8 - 11年进行了颅外颈动脉狭窄患者的生活质量和认知表现调查。将认知表现与正常对照组的数据进行比较。通过神经心理学测试评估认知表现，并通过基于问卷的个人访谈评估生活质量。无论治疗类型如何，大多数颈动脉狭窄患者在主观和认知方面恢复良好。只有接受过两次手术的亚组与其他组相比主观情况较差。即使在10年后，颈动脉狭窄患者的认知表现仍非常接近正常。
