Why the study?

Does prophylactic carotid endarterectomy or off-pump CABG reduce perioperative major cerebrovascular events in patients with carotid stenosis undergoing CABG?

Structured PICO

Does prophylactic carotid endarterectomy or off-pump CABG reduce perioperative major cerebrovascular events in patients with carotid stenosis undergoing CABG?

P

Population

722 consecutive patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) who had carotid artery duplex scanning, excluding those with marked ascending aortic atheromas or combined intracardiac procedures.

I

Intervention

Prophylactic carotid endarterectomy (CEA) for patients with 80-99% carotid stenosis, or 'pump off' technique for patients with 60-79% carotid stenosis.

C

Comparator

Standard cardiopulmonary bypass / no prophylactic CEA (implied).

O

Outcome

Perioperative major cerebrovascular events (MCVEs).hard clinical
