Carotid artery intervention to the neurological asymptomatic patients is one of the most controversial issues of vascular surgery throughout the last decades. The decision about how to manage asymptomatic carotid disease in the setting of planned coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) becomes more complex due to surgical treatment of either pathology may be complicated by multiple factors. Current guidelines do not support routine screening for carotid artery stenosis before CABG because of given the low prevalence of stroke after CABG. Optimal surgical intervention and timing for patients having concomitant severe carotid and coronary artery stenosis remains uncertain. In this brief review, we analyze the incidence of significant carotid stenosis in patients undergoing CABG, association of untreated asymptomatic carotid stenosis on postoperative stroke, effects of carotid endarterectomy (CEA) on postoperative incidence of stroke, determination of surgical options and technical variations for CEA, scanning methods for identifying the vulnerable carotid plaque and revealing risk factors and predictors associated with stroke after CABG. Synchronous or staged CEA still remain valuable options in order to diminish postoperative risk of stroke for neurologically asymptomatic patients undergoing to CABG who have bilateral significant carotid artery stenosis or contralateral occlusion.
