Several risk factors for this type of sequela have been identified, among them aortic arch atherosclerosis. Our previous study indicated that atherosclerotic burden in coronary arteries may likewise predict postoperative neurological complications （Pawliszak et al., 2016b）. We assessed the severity of this condition by using the SYNTAX score calculator. However, diagnosing angiographic three-vessel coronary artery disease （3VD） could be an even simpler method of achieving this goal.展开更多
