Abstract：Objective To study the correlation of carotid artery stenosis ( CAS ) and vascular cognitive impairment ( VCI ) . Method 47 patients diagnosed with VCI were randomly selected as the experimental group (VCI), and other 47 cases of non-VCI patients were randomly selected from the same period as the control group.Imaging examinations were carried out on both groups, inci-dence of carotid stenosis and intimal-medial wall thickness (IMT) were recorded respectively.After calculating the degree of stenosis, the results were statistically analyzed.Results 44 patients in VCI group were with different degrees of carotid artery stenosis, inclu-ding 2 patients with 100%carotid artery occlusion, 36 patients with occlusive degree >50%.In the control group, 18 patients were with clear and smooth intima, IMT <1 mm, only 12 cases with carotid artery occlusion degree >50%.Through rank sum test analy-sis, the difference between VCI group and the control group was of statistical significance, P<0.05.Conclusion Carotid artery steno-sis may have certain influence on the formation of vascular cognitive impairment .
