The carotid body is a small organ located at the bifurcation of the carotid arteries and plays a crucial role in sensing changes in blood oxygen levels. This organ is essential for regulating ...

Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is widely used to treat carotid artery stenosis (CAS). However, the effects of CEA on unilateral CAS‐induced cognitive impairment and the underlying mechanism remain ...

Hemodynamic changes such as hypertension, hypotension, or bradycardia are commonly seen in patients undergoing CEA owing to the proximity of the carotid sinus baroreceptor to the area of the ...
