Abstract
This study examined risk factors for stroke after CABG in a large, longitudinal, and population-based database. The study found that both unilateral and bilateral asymptomatic carotid stenoses are indeed risk factors for in-hospital postoperative stroke. In addition, a number of other predictors were identified. These results can be used to identify patients at high risk for perioperative stroke and hopefully decrease the rate of a devastating complication of CABG.
