Abstract
Most strokes after CABG occurred early after surgery. This complication is associated with an increased hospital mortality and morbidity and reduced long-term survival. The infarction type had no impact on early and late outcome. Preoperative computed tomography scan seems warranted in patients at risk and without any previous history of stroke.
