Abstrakt: One of the complications seen after coronary artery bypass graft operation (CABG) is ischemic stroke. In recent years, "embolic stroke of undetermined source" (ESUS) has been defined as a subtype of ischemic stroke. In this study, a 49-yearold patient with a history of preoperative ischemic stroke and recurrent ischemic stroke after CABG is presented. The necessity of a detailed evaluation of preoperative stroke risk factors and the importance of determining stroke etiologies are discussed in the context of ESUS, which is a new subtype.
