Patients who had heart bypass operations more likely to suffer from stroke

There were l9 studies involving 11,000 patients.  Some underwent angioplasty ie insertions of stent into the blocked blood vessels;  Others whose blood vessels in the heart were so bad, had to undergo bypass, ie grafting of good blood vessels from the legs on to the heart.

Those who underwent bypass were 3x more likely to have a stroke than those who did not.

It is very possible that clamping of blood vessels going to the brain could be one cause.  Too
much manipulations happen during a heart bypass

This was according to Dr. Gregg Stone of Columbia University, who did the study


Those who got bypass are more likely to suffer a stroke than those who had stent

Is heat bypass the best procedure?  Or stent?
