We aimed to assess the utility of common carotid intima-media thickness (CCA-IMT) to predict secondary cardiovascular events after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). In primary prevention, carotid-IMT is known as a valuable cardiovascular risk marker, but its interest in secondary prevention has been less studied. We hypothesized that CCA-IMT could be used for peri-operative and long-term risk stratification in candidates for CABG.
