Key result
Preoperative significant carotid artery stenosis (≥50%) was significantly associated with an increased incidence of postoperative stroke after coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (6.5% vs 1.6%, p=0.041).
Why the study?
Does preoperative carotid and vertebral CDUS and subsequent carotid endarterectomy prevent postoperative stroke in patients undergoing CABG surgery?
Cohort (n=300)
Yes
Does preoperative carotid and vertebral CDUS and subsequent carotid endarterectomy prevent postoperative stroke in patients undergoing CABG surgery?
May warrant targeted carotid evaluation in select CABG patients; leaves open whether screening plus endarterectomy reduces stroke.

Aykut Ülger (2011) conducted a cohort in Coronary artery disease requiring CABG (n=300). Significant carotid artery stenosis (≥50%) vs. No significant carotid artery stenosis (<50%) was evaluated on Postoperative stroke (p=0.041). Preoperative significant carotid artery stenosis (≥50%) was significantly associated with an increased incidence of postoperative stroke after coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (6.5% vs 1.6%, p=0.041).
