Carotid Occlusive Disease and Stroke Risk in Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery
Neurol 49:678-686, Dashe,J.F.,et al, 1997
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
To clarify the perioperative stroke risk in patients with carotid stenosis or occlusion having coronary artery bypass graft(CABG)surgery,we retrospectively reviewed the records of 1,022 patients who had CABG during a 2-year period(1992,1993).Our results suggest that while the overall risk of perioperative stroke in CABG surgery is low,the risk is increased in patients with severe extracranial carotid stenosis or occlusion.The role of carotid disease and the mechanism of borderzone infarction in CABG surgery remained unsettled.
