As the population requiring CABG surgery increases in age and comorbidities, it is likely that asymptomatic carotid stenosis will become increasingly prevalent among surgical candidates. Using Swedish registry data, evaluation of risk factors in individuals getting isolated CABG from 1987 to 2006 demonstrated that the rate of diabetes mellitus more than doubled, and the rates of hypertension and prior stroke nearly tripled. 10 Other studies have reported higher rates of carotid stenosis in more recent surgical cohorts compared with individuals undergoing cardiac surgery in earlier time epochs. 11 Thus, it will become increasingly important to know how to manage asymptomatic carotid disease in CABG candidates. Data from the CABACS trial, including its long-term followup data that are still being collected, in combination with evidence from CREST-2 and other trials evaluating asymptomatic carotid stenosis management in the general population, will help guide clinicians planning CABG, or treating asymptomatic carotid stenosis patients who are in need of CABG. About management of asymptomatic carotid stenosis in individuals requiring cardiopulmonary bypass surgery, it may be that less is more.
