Carotid artery disease and stroke during coronary artery bypass surgery

Philip Curry et al. Br J Hosp Med (Lond). 2010 Nov.

Abstract

Stroke is a devastating complication during coronary artery bypass grafting. Screening may identify patients at highest risk. Surgical timing, sequence strategies and carotid stenting remain unresolved. Selective use of techniques could prevent adverse neurological sequelae while achieving complete myocardial revascularization.
