TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Chapter 23. Myocardial Revascularization with Carotid Artery Disease A1 - Akins, Cary W. A1 - Cambria, Richard P. A2 - Cohn, Lawrence H. Y1 - 2012 N1 - T2 - Cardiac Surgery in the Adult, 4e AB - Next to operative mortality, permanent stroke is the most dreaded complication of myocardial revascularization, not only because of the potential devastating consequences to the patient but also because of the increased cost of hospitalization and posthospital care. Perioperative stroke following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is of increasing concern because as the average age of coronary bypass patients rises, so does the risk of stroke. This chapter investigates the relationship of carotid artery disease to neurologic complications following myocardial revascularization and evaluates treatment options for dealing with severe concomitant carotid and coronary artery disease (CAD).
