Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is the "gold standard" for revascularization of left main diseased and/or complex multi-vessel diseased coronary artery disease. Post-CABG stroke is a relatively rare but catastrophic complication with a serious health and economic burden. In recent years, the further understanding of the concept of "panvascular disease", the implementation of the philosophy of "cardio-cerebral integrated treatment", and the improvement of related diagnostic and therapeutic techniques have provided new options for the recognition, prevention and cure of post-CABG stroke. Focusing on the key factor of carotid-cerebral artery disease, this review systematically scrutinizes the incidence, epidemiology, risk factors, mechanisms and prevention and treatment of post-CABG stroke. This review analyzes the association between post-CABG stroke and carotid-cerebral artery disease, summarizes the status of evidence-based prophylactic carotid-cerebral artery revascularization strategy, and prospects for future research directions.
