Obstructive carotid and/or intracranial artery disease rarely affects the incidence of haemodynamic ischaemic stroke during cardiac surgery: a study on brain perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography with acetazolamide ADULT CARDIAC
CONCLUSIONS It is unusual for CIAD to affect the incidence of haemodynamic ischaemic stroke during cardiac surgery. Brain perfusion SPECT with acetazolamide is effective for narrowing down patients at high risk of ischaemic stroke during cardiac surgery. Meanwhile, the application of brain perfusion single-photon emission tomography should be confined only to patients with obstructive CIAD because it is an expensive examination tool.

Coronary artery bypass surgery in patients with chronic brain hypoperfusion.
CONCLUSIONS: CABG can be performed at an acceptable risk in patients with brain hypoperfusion. However, these patients suffered high stroke incidence during the follow-up. It is therefore, important to identify those patients preoperatively to plan and implement an appropriate treatment regime. PMID: 29616518 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Quantitative evaluation using single-photon emission computed tomography with acetazolamide is reliable for preoperative evaluation before cardiac surgery in severe carotid intracranial artery stenotic and/or occlusive disease: a case report
Severe carotid and intracranial artery stenosis disease (CIAD) is major risk for perioperative stroke in coronary artery bypass grafting. Then, preoperative risk assessment is quite important.
