May warrant preoperative carotid evaluation in cardiovascular surgery; leaves open whether intervention reduces stroke risk.
Does hemodynamically severe carotid occlusive disease detected by preoperative oculoplethysmography increase the risk of perioperative stroke in patients undergoing major cardiovascular surgery?
