In this nationally representative study we have shown that the rates of postoperative stroke complications following CABG have increased over time to commensurate with a parallel increase in overall baseline patient risks. Given the adverse impact of stroke on in-hospital morbidity and mortality after CABG, further studies are warranted to systematically delineate factors contributing to this striking trend.
