Abstract:Aim: Central nervous system may be affected after coronary artery by-pass graft (CABG) and carotid artery stenosis is an important risk factor. Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is used to measure the regional cerebral oxygen concentration (rScO2). The aim of this study is to determine the relationship of rScO2 in patients with carotid artery lesion and to determine the relation of stroke with rScO2 changes.
Material and Method: The patients who had cardiac bypass surgery were involved in the study. Demo… Show more
