Presentation of the matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) plasma concentrations in patients with and without cognitive dysfunction (CD) 1 day following carotid endarterectomy showing that patients who have early post-operative CD have higher total MMP-9 levels and activity levels at baseline compared to patients without early postoperative CD., Post-operatively the total MMP-9 and activity levels were similar between the two groups. * Adjusted to pre-operative levels p = 0.005; ** adjusted, p = 0.003.
