Cognitive Decline in Asymptomatic Middle Cerebral Artery Stenosis Patients with Moderate and Poor Collaterals: A 2-Year Follow-Up Study.

CONCLUSIONS MCAS patients with moderate and poor collateral circulation have impairment of ≥1 cognitive domain over time. The affected domains are consistent with the profile of vascular cognitive impairment. Good collateral circulation is more important in patients with MCAS, and is associated with less risk of cognitive disorders. PMID: 31148547 [PubMed - in process]
