Abstract
BACKGROUND Ascending aorta manipulation during on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery can release embolic matter and may cause stroke. Strategies for lowering the stroke rate associated with coronary artery bypass grafting surgery include off-pump surgery without cardiopulmonary bypass and pump-assisted surgery with minimal aortic manipulation (i.e., without aortic cross-clamping). We examined whether one approach is superior to the other in reducing stroke and perioperative mortality rates. METHODS We reviewed consecutive elective, urgent, and emergency off-pump/no-bypass and pump-assisted/no-clamp coronary artery bypass grafting procedures performed by a single surgeon at our institution from June 2011 through October 2017. RESULTS Of 570 patients analyzed, 395 (69.3%) underwent off-pump/no-bypass surgery, 43 (7.5%) underwent pump-assisted/no-clamp surgery, and 132 (23.2%) transitioned mid-procedure from off-pump/no-bypass to pump-assisted/no-clamp surgery. Patients who were >70 years old, were female, or had diabetes, cardiomegaly, or a history of myocardial infarction or congestive heart failure were more likely to undergo pump-assisted/no-clamp surgery or the combined technique. None of the pump-assisted/no-clamp patients had a stroke, versus 0.3% of the off-pump/no-bypass patients and 0.8% of the combination patients. Stroke and in-hospital mortality rates did not differ by technique. CONCLUSIONS A hybrid strategy incorporating off-pump, pump-assisted, and combined off-pump/pump-assisted techniques achieved very low stroke rates in patients undergoing coronary revascularization. Perioperative mortality was similar for all three techniques. Avoiding aortic clamping may be crucial for decreasing CABG-related stroke rates. Off-pump/no-bypass surgery had no significant advantage over the pump-assisted/no-clamp or combined techniques in reducing the stroke rate after coronary artery bypass grafting surgery.

Abstract
Porcelain aorta (PA) is an asymptomatic atherosclerotic disease, characterized by circumferential calcification throughout the whole perimeter of the aorta. It is seen in 2% to 9.3% of patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and makes manipulation of the ascending aorta impossible. It has been clearly shown that most emboli seen and detected during the CABG procedure occur during aortic cross-clamping and aortic side-clamping. Manipulation of porcelain or a severely atherosclerotic aorta increases the risk of perioperative stroke. The incidence of stroke after CABG is between 0.48% and 2.9%, and the risk is correlated with the extent and severity of the atherosclerotic disease. A conventional CABG procedure involves successive steps that include cannulation of the ascending aorta, application of a cross-clamp to the aorta, and partial clamping of the aorta to create the proximal anastomosis. Therefore in procedures that involve cannulation, clamping, or proximal anastomosis, and where aortic manipulation is inevitable, preassessment of the atherosclerotic aortic plaques is crucial. Although many surgeons still rely on intraoperative manual aortic palpation, this approach has very low sensitivity and underestimates the severity of the atherosclerotic illness. Imaging methods including preoperative computed tomography or intraoperative epiaortic ultrasonography enable modification of the surgical technique according to the severity of atherosclerosis. Various surgical techniques have been described to reduce the risk of atheroembolism that may lead to cerebrovascular events in patients with severely atherosclerotic ascending aorta. Anaortic or “no-touch” techniques that do not utilize aortic manipulation may significantly decrease the development of neurological complications by avoiding aortic maneuvers known to cause emboli. In cases where severe atherosclerotic disease or other factors preclude safe use of the ascending aorta, modifications in the surgical techniques, such as switching to different cannulation sites including the axillary/subclavian, femoral and innominate arteries, or using hypothermic ventricular fibrillation and in-situ pedicled arterial grafts, or performing proximal anastomoses at alternative anatomical locations will enable CABG operations to be performed safely with low morbidity and mortality rates in patients with porcelain aortas.

Abstract
Objective There is currently much debate about which patients would benefit more after on- or off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The aim of this meta-analysis and meta-regression is to investigate the effect of age on short-term clinical outcomes after these approaches. Methods To identify potential studies, systematic searches were carried out in the Excerpta Medica dataBASE (EMBASE), PubMed, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL). The search strategy included the key concepts of “cardiopulmonary bypass” AND “coronary artery bypass grafting” AND “off pump” OR “on pump”. This was followed by a meta-analysis and meta-regression investigating the effect of age on the incidences of stroke, myocardial infarction (MI), and mortality. Results Thirty-seven studies including 15,324 participants were analysed. Overall, there was a significant odds reduction for patients receiving off-pump CABG suffering a stroke (odds ratio [OR] 0.770, 95% confidence intervals [CI] 0.594, 0.998, P=0.048); however, when patients were subdivided according to different age bands, this difference disappeared. There were also no significant differences in the odds of mortality (OR 0.876, 95% CI 0.703, 1.093, P=0.241) or MI (OR 0.937, 95% CI 0.795, 1.105, P=0.439). Meta-regression analysis revealed no significant relationship between age and stroke (P=0.652), age and mortality (P=548), and age and MI (P=0.464). Conclusion Patients undergoing CABG are becoming older and may suffer from multiple comorbidities increasing their risk profile. However, with respect to short-term clinical outcomes, the patient’s age does not help in determining whether off- or on-pump is superior.

Abstract
Delayed neurocognitive recovery (DNR) is common in elderly patients after major noncardiac surgery. This study was designed to investigate the best statistical rule in diagnosing DNR with the Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA) in elderly surgical patients.This was a cohort study. One hundred seventy-five elderly (60 years or over) patients who were scheduled to undergo major noncardiac surgery were enrolled. A battery of neuropsychological tests and the MoCA were employed to test cognitive function at the day before and on fifth day after surgery. Fifty-three age- and education-matched nonsurgical control subjects completed cognitive assessment with the same instruments at the same time interval. The definition of the international study of postoperative cognitive dysfunction (ISPOCD 1) was adopted as the standard reference for diagnosing DNR. With the MoCA, the following rules were used to diagnose DNR: the cut-off point of ≤26; the 1 standard deviation decline from baseline; the 2 scores decline from baseline; and the Z score of ≥1.96. The sensitivity and specificity as well as the area under receiver operating characteristic curve for the above rules in diagnosis of DNR were calculated.The incidence of DNR was 13.1% (23/175) according to the ISPOCD1 definition. When compared with the standard reference, the 2 scores rule showed the best combination of sensitivity (82.6%, 95% confidence interval [CI] 67.1%-98.1%) and specificity (82.2%, 95% CI 76.2%-88.3%); it also had the largest area under receiver operating characteristic curve (0.824, 95% CI 0.728-0.921, P < .001). The cut-off point rule showed high sensitivity (95.7%) and low specificity (37.5%), whereas the 1 standard deviation and the Z score rules showed low sensitivity (47.8% and 21.7%, respectively) and high specificity (93.4% and 97.3%, respectively).Compared with the ISPOCD1 definition, the 2 scores rule with MoCA had the best combination of sensitivity and specificity to diagnose DNR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Behavioural support increases smoking cessation in clinical settings, but effect sizes differ among providers, due possibly to variations in delivery. This study evaluates a measure ('fidelity index') intended to capture fidelity to delivery of content- and interaction-based items of a behavioural support (BS) for smoking cessation and the association of fidelity with quit rates. METHODS A fidelity index for scoring the adherence and quality domains of a specific BS intervention, '5As for quit', was developed by classifying the intervention components using the taxonomy of behaviour change techniques. The index was applied to code 154 BS sessions audiotaped among 18 chest clinics in Pakistan to assess their fidelity and explore reliability of coding. The association between intervention fidelity and successful quit achieved by the same providers in a previous study was explored using regression analysis. RESULTS The index represented two domains: adherence to delivery of content-based activities of 5As (37 items) and quality of interaction-based activities (eight items). The intercoder reliability was good for content-based (average Krippendorff's α = 0.80) and moderate for interaction-based (average Krippendorff's α = 0.66) items. Approximately 70% (intraclass correlation coefficient: adherence scores = 0.72, quality scores = 0.71) of variation in BS delivery was contributed by providers, which increased to 97% (g-coefficient: adherence scores = 0.973, quality scores = 0.974) after accounting for other sources of variation. Higher quit rates were positively associated with average quality scores [risk ratio = 2.15; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.43-3.24], but negatively associated with average adherence scores (risk ratio = 0.55; 95% CI = 0.40-0.77) within services. CONCLUSIONS The fidelity index is a reliable measure for quantifying intervention fidelity of delivering smoking cessation behavioural support. Recommended revisions of the fidelity index include incorporation of additional interaction-based items, such as the relational techniques used in motivational interviewing.

Abstract
Background The impact of the coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) technique (on- versus off-pump, single versus multiple aortic clamping) on postoperative neurological outcome remains a matter of controversy. The aim of this study was to assess the association between the incidence of postoperative stroke and the degree of aortic manipulation in one of the largest contemporary CABG series. Methods and Results A retrospective, multicenter, international study was conducted in 25 388 patients undergoing isolated CABG procedures with on-pump CABG (ONCAB) or off-pump CABG (OPCAB) technique including single or multiple aortic clamping. Postoperative stroke was defined as a postoperative neurological deficit lasting more than 24 hours and associated with evidence of a brain lesion on computed tomography. The degree of aortic manipulation was assumed to be higher for on-pump versus off-pump surgery and for multiple versus single or no aortic clamping. Logistic regression and propensity matching were used. ONCAB procedures were performed in 17 231 cases and OPCAB in 8157. The incidence of postoperative stroke was significantly lower in the OPCAB group even after propensity matching (0.4% OPCAB versus 1.2% ONCAB, P=0.02). In the ONCAB group (but not in the OPCAB arm) the use of single aortic clamping was associated with significantly reduced postoperative stroke rate (odds ratio, 0.05; 95% CI, 0.008 to 0.07 [P<0.001]). Conclusions OPCAB and the use of single aortic clamping in the ONCAB arm were associated with a reduced incidence of postoperative stroke. Our data confirm a strong association between aortic manipulation and neurological outcome after CABG surgery.

Abstract
The advancement of cardiac surgery benefits from the continual technological progress of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Every improvement in the CPB technology requires further clinical and laboratory tests to prove its safety and effectiveness before it can be widely used in clinical practice. In order to reduce the priming volume and eliminate a separate arterial filter in the CPB circuit, several manufacturers developed novel hollow-fiber membrane oxygenators with integrated arterial filters (IAF). Clinical and experimental studies demonstrated that an oxygenator with IAF could reduce total priming volume, blood donor exposure and gaseous microemboli delivery to the patient. It can be easily set up and managed, simplifying the CPB circuit without sacrificing safety. An oxygenator with IAF is expected to be more beneficial to the patients with low body weight and when using a minimized extracorporeal circulation system. The aim of this review manuscript was to discuss briefly the concept of integration, the current oxygenators with IAF, and the in-vitro / in-vivo performance of the oxygenators with IAF.

Abstract
Background Although it is traditionally regarded as a single entity, perioperative stroke comprises 2 separate phenomena (early/intraoperative and delayed/postoperative stroke). We aimed to systematically evaluate incidence, risk factors, and clinical outcome of early and delayed stroke after cardiac surgery. Methods and Results A systematic review ( MEDLINE , EMBASE , Cochrane Library) was performed to identify all articles reporting early (on awakening from anesthesia) and delayed (after normal awakening from anesthesia) stroke after cardiac surgery. End points were pooled event rates of stroke and operative mortality and incident rate of late mortality. Thirty-six articles were included (174 969 patients). The pooled event rate for early stroke was 0.98% (95% CI 0.79% to 1.23%) and was 0.93% for delayed stoke (95% CI 0.77% to 1.11%; P=0.68). The pooled event rate of operative mortality was 28.8% (95% CI 17.6% to 43.4%) for early and 17.9% (95% CI 14.0% to 22.7%) for delayed stroke, compared with 2.4% (95% CI 1.9% to 3.1%) for patients without stroke ( P<0.001 for early versus delayed, and for perioperative stroke, early stroke, and delayed stroke versus no stroke). At a mean follow-up of 8.25 years, the incident rate of late mortality was 11.7% (95% CI 7.5% to 18.3%) for early and 9.4% (95% CI 5.9% to 14.9%) for delayed stroke, compared with 3.4% (95% CI 2.4% to 4.8%) in patients with no stroke. Meta-regression demonstrated that off-pump was inversely associated with early stroke (β=-0.009, P=0.01), whereas previous stroke (β=0.02, P<0.001) was associated with delayed stroke. Conclusions Early and delayed stroke after cardiac surgery have different risk factors and impacts on operative mortality as well as on long-term survival.

Observational study of long-term persistent elevation of neurodegeneration markers after cardiac surgery. Sci Rep 2019; 9:7177.

Abstract
Surgery and anesthesia induce inflammatory changes in the central nervous system, which ultimately lead to neuronal damage concomitant with an increase in the level of neurodegeneration markers. Despite some experimental data showing prolonged activation of the immune system post-surgery, no study has determined the extent of long-term elevation of neurodegeneration markers. The purpose of this study was to investigate the serum levels of tau protein, ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase L1 (UCH-L1), neurofilament light (NF-L), and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) after elective cardiac surgery with the implementation of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The serum levels of these markers from 30 patients were compared longitudinally to the baseline (pre-surgery or t0), at 24 hours (t+24), at 7 days (t+7d), and at 3 months (t+3m). The secondary outcome was the production of macrophage-colony stimulating factor (M-CSF) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in vitro by isolated monocytes in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) as the measure of immune system activation. The tertiary outcome was the serum level of C-reactive protein (CRP), serum amyloid P (SAP), and α-2-macroglobulin (A2M). Serum levels of tau protein increased 24 hours after surgery (p = 0.0015) and remained elevated at 7 days (p = 0.0017) and three months (p = 0.036). Serum levels of UCH-L1 peaked at 24 hours (p = 0.00055) and normalized at 3 months. In vitro secretion of M-CSF by LPS-stimulated peripheral monocytes, but not TNFα, correlated highly (r = 0.58; p = 0.04) with persistent elevation of serum tau levels at 3 months. The serum CRP and SAP increases correlated with tau post-CPB levels significantly at 3 months. We demonstrated that elevation of serum tau levels at 24 hours, 7 days, and 3 months after heart surgery is concomitant with some traits of inflammation after CPB. The elevation of tau several weeks into recovery is significantly longer than expected.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) negates the requirement for extracorporeal circulation used with the traditional on-pump approach. However, off-pump CABG is technically more challenging and may theoretically lead to less complete revascularisation. Recent data suggests a prognostic benefit for traditional on-pump CABG, but the mechanism for this remains unclear. We hypothesised that the inferior outcomes with off-pump CABG could be driven by the need for repeat revascularisation, with this benefit only becoming clear at long-term follow-up. We therefore evaluated short, medium and long-term outcomes of patients undergoing revascularisation with on vs. off-pump CABG. METHODS Electronic databases were searched to identify suitable randomised controlled trials enrolling ≥100 patients in each arm. Clinical outcomes were extracted at 30-days, 12-months or >4years. The primary outcome was long-term all-cause death, while secondary outcomes included 30-day, 12-month and >4-year cardiac death, stroke, myocardial infarction or revascularisation. RESULTS Thirteen (13) studies comprising 13,234 patients were included. Off-pump CABG was associated with an increased risk of all-cause death (Odds Ratio [OR] 1.18, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.02-1.32, p=0.01) and repeat bypass surgery (OR 2.57, 95%CI 1.23-5.39, p=0.01) at long-term follow-up. A significant, increased requirement for revascularisation in off-pump was seen at 12-month follow-up (OR 1.59, 95%CI 1.09-2.33, p=0.02). No differences were noted between groups at 30-days, 12-months and >4years for myocardial infarction or stroke. CONCLUSIONS Off-pump CABG is associated with significantly higher rates of all-cause mortality rate at long-term follow-up. These outcomes demonstrate a temporal relationship that may be driven by a greater requirement for repeat revascularisation at 1- and 5-year follow-up. STUDY REGISTRATION CRD42018102019 (PROSPERO).

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To summarize evidence on cognitive outcomes after heart valve surgery; secondary aim, to examine whether aortic and mitral valve surgery are associated with different cognitive outcomes. DESIGN Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses systematic review and meta-analysis. SETTING Cardiac surgery. PARTICIPANTS Individuals undergoing heart valve surgery. MEASUREMENTS We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, and PsycINFO for peer-reviewed reports of individuals undergoing heart valve surgery who underwent pre- and postoperative cognitive assessment. Our initial search returned 1,475 articles, of which 12 were included. Postoperative cognitive results were divided into those from 1 week to 1 month (early outcomes, npooled = 450) and from 2 to 6 months (intermediate outcomes; npooled = 722). No studies with longer-term outcomes were identified. RESULTS Subjects had moderate early cognitive decline from baseline (Becker mean gain effect size (ES)=-0.39 ± 0.27) that improved slightly by 2 to 6 months (ES=-0.25 ± 0.38). Individuals undergoing aortic valve surgery-who were older on average than those undergoing mitral valve surgery (68 vs 57)-had greater early cognitive decline than those undergoing mitral valve surgery (ES=-0.68 vs -0.12), but both cohorts had similar decline 2 to 6 months postoperatively (ES=-0.27 vs -0.20). CONCLUSIONS Heart valve surgery is associated with cognitive decline over the 6 months after surgery, but outcomes beyond 6 months are unclear. These findings highlight the cognitive vulnerability of this population, especially older adults with aortic stenosis. © 2018 American Geriatrics Society and Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Older adults often display postoperative cognitive decline (POCD) after surgery, yet it is unclear to what extent functional connectivity (FC) alterations may underlie these deficits. We examined for postoperative voxel-wise FC changes in response to increased working memory load demands in cardiac surgery patients and nonsurgical controls. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Older cardiac surgery patients (n = 25) completed a verbal N-back working memory task during MRI scanning and cognitive testing before and 6 weeks after surgery; nonsurgical controls with cardiac disease (n = 26) underwent these assessments at identical time intervals. We measured postoperative changes in degree centrality, the number of edges attached to a brain node, and local coherence, the temporal homogeneity of regional functional correlations, using voxel-wise graph theory-based FC metrics. Group × time differences were evaluated in these FC metrics associated with increased N-back working memory load (2-back > 1-back), using a two-stage partitioned variance, mixed ANCOVA. PRINCIPAL OBSERVATIONS Cardiac surgery patients demonstrated postoperative working memory load-related degree centrality increases in the left dorsal posterior cingulate cortex (dPCC; p < .001, cluster p-FWE < .05). The dPCC also showed a postoperative increase in working memory load-associated local coherence (p < .001, cluster p-FWE < .05). dPCC degree centrality and local coherence increases were inversely associated with global cognitive change in surgery patients (p < .01), but not in controls. CONCLUSIONS Cardiac surgery patients showed postoperative increases in working memory load-associated degree centrality and local coherence of the dPCC that were inversely associated with postoperative global cognitive outcomes and independent of perioperative cerebrovascular damage.

Efficacy and effectiveness of on- versus off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting: A meta-analysis of mortality and survival. J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 2017; 155:172-179.e5.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite many studies comparing on- versus off-pump coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), there is no consensus as to whether one of these techniques offers patients better outcomes. METHODS We searched PubMed from inception to June 30, 2015, and identified additional studies from bibliographies of meta-analyses and reviews. We identified 42 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and 31 rigorously adjusted observational studies (controlling for the Society of Thoracic Surgeons-recognized risk factors for mortality) reporting mortality for off-pump versus on-pump CABG at specified time points. Trial data were extracted independently by 2 researchers using a standardized form. Differences in probability of mortality (DPM) were estimated for the RCTs and observational studies separately and combined, for time points ranging from 30 days to 10 years. RESULTS RCT-only data showed no significant differences at any time point, whereas observational-only data and the combined analysis showed short-term mortality favored off-pump CABG (n = 1.2 million patients; 36 RCTs, 26 observational studies; DPM [95% confidence interval (CI)], -44.8% [-45.4%, -43.8%]) but that at 5 years it was associated with significantly greater mortality (n = 60,405 patients; 3 RCTs, 5 observational studies; DPM [95% CI], 10.0% [5.0%, 15.0%]). At 10 years, only observational data were available, and off-pump CABG showed significantly greater mortality (DPM [95% CI], 14.0% [11.0%, 17.0%]). CONCLUSIONS Evidence from RCTs showed no differences between the techniques, whereas rigorously adjusted observational studies (with >1.1 million patients) and the combined analysis indicated that off-pump CABG offers lower short-term mortality but poorer long-term survival. These results suggest that, in real-world settings, greater operative safety with off-pump CABG comes at the expense of lasting survival gains.

Abstract
Objectives: This study was undertaken to estimate the incidence and burden of cerebral microhemorrhage (CM) in patients with heart disease who underwent cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), as detected on susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI), a magnetic resonance (MR) sequence that is highly sensitive to hemorrhagic products. Materials and Methods: With Institutional Review Board waiver of consent, MR imaging (MRI) of a cohort of 86 consecutive pediatric patients with heart failure who underwent heart transplantation evaluation were retrospectively reviewed for CM. A nested case–control study was performed. The CPB group consisted of 23 pediatric patients with heart failure from various cardiac conditions who underwent CPB. The control group was comprised of 13 pediatric patients with similar cardiac conditions, but without CPB history. Ten patients in the CPB group were female (age: 5 days to 16 years at the time of the CPB and 6 days to 17 years at the time of the MRI). The time interval between the CPB and MRI ranged from 11 days to 4 years and 5 months. Six patients in the control group were female, age range of 2 days to 6 years old. The number of CM on SWI was counted by three radiologists (PK, EK and DK). The differences in number of CM between groups were tested for significance using Mann–Whitney U-test, α = 0.05. Using the univariate analysis of variance model, the differences in number of CM between groups were also tested with adjustment for age at MRI. Results: There are statistically significant differences in CM on SWI between the CPB group and control group with more CM were observed in the CPB group without and with adjustment for age at MRI (P < 0.001). Conclusions: Exposure of CPB is associated with increased prevalence and burden of CM among pediatric patients with heart failure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the impact of different aortic clamping strategies on the incidence of cerebral embolic events during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). METHODS Between 2012 and 2015, 142 patients with low-grade aortic disease (epiaortic ultrasound grade I/II) undergoing primary isolated CABG were studied. Those undergoing off-pump CABG were randomized to a partial clamp (n = 36) or clampless facilitating device (CFD; n = 36) strategy. Those undergoing on-pump CABG were randomized to a single-clamp (n = 34) or double-clamp (n = 36) strategy. Transcranial Doppler ultrasonography (TCD) was performed to identify high-intensity transient signals (HITS) in the middle cerebral arteries during periods of aortic manipulation. Neurocognitive testing was performed at baseline and 30-days postoperatively. The primary endpoint was total number of HITS detected by TCD. Groups were compared using the Mann-Whitney U test. RESULTS In the off-pump group, the median number of total HITS were higher in the CFD subgroup (30.0; interquartile range [IQR], 22-43) compared with the partial clamp subgroup (7.0; IQR, 0-16; P < .0001). In the CFD subgroup, the median number of total HITS was significantly lower for patients with 1 CFD compared with patients with >1 CFD (12.5 [IQR, 4-19] vs 36.0 [IQR, 25-47]; P = .001). In the on-pump group, the median number of total HITS was 10.0 (IQR, 3-17) in the single-clamp group, compared with 16.0 (IQR, 4-49) in the double-clamp group (P = .10). There were no differences in neurocognitive outcomes across the groups. CONCLUSIONS For patients with low-grade aortic disease, the use of CFDs was associated with an increased rate of cerebral embolic events compared with partial clamping during off-pump CABG. A single-clamp strategy during on-pump CABG did not significantly reduce embolic events compared with a double-clamp strategy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adverse neurological sequelae are a major cause of morbidity and mortality after coronary artery bypass (CABG) surgery, due to manipulation of an atherosclerotic aorta. The purpose of this study is to measure the impact of intraoperative epi-aortic scanning in reducing neurologic sequelae after CABG, and the patient subgroups that are benefitted the most. METHODS Patients that underwent first-time CABG from July 2010 to March 2014 (n=1,989) were retrospectively reviewed and stratified by history of intraoperative epi-aortic scan (n=350) or no scan (n=1,639). Baseline characteristics, rates of adverse neurological events, and overall survival were compared among groups in both matched and unmatched cohorts and tested using Student's t-test, chi2 test, or log-rank test, respectively. Multivariable analysis using logistic regression was performed to identify potential predictors for neurological sequelae. Cumulative summation plots (CUSUM) were constructed to display the number of preventable adverse neurological events per consecutive patient that underwent CABG. A p≤0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS The use of epi-aortic scan (OR: 0.29, 95% CI: 0.09-0.99, p=0.48) was an independent predictor of adverse events. Overall rates of stroke (0.29% vs 0.55%), postoperative confusional state (1.43% vs 3.42%), or both (1.71% vs 3.72%) were lower in those scanned. CUSUM scores were higher in scanned patients, especially in those with an age above 70 years or logistic Euroscore >2. CONCLUSIONS Intraoperative epi-aortic scan is an effective assessment tool for atherosclerotic burden in the ascending aorta and can guide surgical strategy to decrease adverse neurological outcomes, particularly in high risk and elderly patients.

METHODS Eight hundred and thirteen patients were selected who underwent OPCABG between August 2010 and September 2013. Cognitive function was assessed before operation and at seven days post-op. CT perfusion scan was obtained preoperatively and was used to divide patients into two groups: abnormal perfusion and normal perfusion groups. RESULTS (1) Logistic regression analysis showed that perfusion abnormalities (OR, 3.012; 95% CI, 1.660-5.463; P < 0.05) were an independent risk factor for postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD). (2) 556 patients with CT perfusion scans were divided into normal perfusion and abnormal perfusion groups: incidence of POCD in the abnormal perfusion group is significantly higher than the control group (21.6 vs 8.6%, P < 0.05); MMSE scores were significantly lower in patients with abnormal perfusion before and after surgery. MoCA scores demonstrated a significant drop after surgery for all patients with abnormal perfusion (P < 0.05). The abnormal perfusion group had a significant reduction in the visuospatial/executive and naming scores in the MoCA as compared to normal perfusion (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Abnormal CT perfusion is a significant risk factor for postoperative cognitive dysfunction, and has the most impact on visuospatial/executive and naming functions.

Abstract
Embolus-related cerebral injury is still a serious adverse event after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). But there is no stable animal model for basic and clinical research purposes. We chose miniature pig to establish a stable animal model of embolus-related cerebral injury after CPB and verified the validity of results by correlating the histopathological findings with those of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI). Based on different treatment regimens, 24 male miniature pigs were randomly assigned into four groups: Control, CPB, embolus, and CPB-embolus groups. DW-MRI was performed before and after surgery to diagnose and locate the brain lesions. Histopathological changes in brain tissues were examined using H&E and Nissl staining. All surgical procedures were uneventful with 100% postoperative survival of pigs. Two animals in the Embolus group and six animals in the CPB-embolus group showed signs of ischemic penumbra on DW-MRI performed 6 h after surgery. Consistent with the results of DW-MRI, histopathological examination showed necrosis and ischemic lesions. In this paper, we demonstrate the feasibility and validity of a pig model of embolus-related cerebral injury associated with CPB. This model may be used in the future for basic and translational research.

Abstract
Since the advent of cardiac surgery, complications have existed in many forms. Recent work has focused on the safety of current cardiac surgery with particular emphasis on cognitive outcomes. Cardiopulmonary bypass has improved the safety of operative practice; however, increasing concern surrounds the measurable and immeasurable impact embolization has on the brain. New ischemic lesions have been associated with distant emboli, which intraoperatively enter the cardiovascular system. This has prompted better characterization of the nature of emboli manifesting as cognitive impairment postoperatively. The difficulty in attributing causation relates to the subclinical damage that does not necessarily manifest as clinical stroke. Transcranial Doppler has become an important tool in documenting cerebral emboli during surgery. The purpose of this systematic review is to focus on the current literature to improve our understanding of the impact embolization has on the brain. We also aim to investigate which cardiac interventions hold the greatest burden of embolic load and how previous literature has investigated the impact of emboli on cognition by monitoring emboli during specific cardiac interventions. Significant intraoperative factors such as the cardiopulmonary bypass machine and surgical interventions have been highlighted to summarize the current literature associating cerebral embolization with these factors and postoperative cognitive outcomes. The findings of this review report that the current literature is divided as to whether the impact of embolization during cardiac surgery has any adverse impact on cognition. This review highlights that the ultimate goal of improving cognitive safety will involve further careful consideration of multifactorial events.

Abstract
Most surgeons perform coronary bypass surgery with the aid of cardiopulmonary bypass, which inflicts a massive systemic inflammatory response to the body leading to adverse clinical outcome. In an attempt to make CABG less invasive, interest have been diverted to the off pump technique. The current review attempts to bring an insight onto the last ten years knowledge on the off-pump impact in end organ function, with an aim to draw some clear conclusions in order to allow practitioners to reflect on the subject.

Abstract
Anaortic coronary artery bypass proved to prevent early neurologic injury compared to on-pump CABG. The Cardica PAS-Port(®) is a fully automated device that might be able to perform proximal aorto-venous anastomoses without an increased embolic risk. We evaluated early post-operative neurologic outcome in a matched population following clampless OPCAB (CCAB: either "all-arterial" or with automatically anastomosed venous grafts) or on-pump CABG. 366 consecutive patients were submitted to isolated coronary bypass by a single surgeon experienced in both off and on-pump procedures between January 2009 and December 2013. Of these patients, 223 underwent a clampless off-pump revascularization. After propensity score matching, 143 pairs were selected, who received either off-pump or on-pump surgery. In the off-pump group, CCAB was performed with an all-arterial approach (n = 33) or with automated proximal anastomosis of the venous graft(s) by means of the Cardica PAS-Port(®) connector (n = 110). Neurologic injury was defined as non-reversible (NRNI: lethal coma or stroke) or reversible (RNI: TIA or delirium). Operative mortality was 2.4 % (CCAB 1.4 %; CABG 3.5 %; p = 0.14). The global rate of early neurologic injury was 5.6 % (CCAB 2.1 vs. CABG 9.1 %; p = 0.006). Incidence was 1.4 % for NRNI (CCAB 0 vs. CABG 2.8 %; p = 0.04) and 4.2 % for RNI (CCAB 2.1 vs. CABG 6.3 %; p = 0.06). No differences were found among other major perioperative outcomes. CCAB prevents both early post-operative RNI and NRNI. This result can be achieved with a totally anaortic strategy and also with the aid of a fully automated device for proximal aorto-venous anastomoses.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the benefits and risks of off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) versus coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) through a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs), and to investigate the relationship between outcomes and patient risk profile. METHODS PubMed, Embase, the Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and major conference proceedings databases were searched for RCTs comparing OPCAB and CABG and reporting short-term (≤ 30 days) outcomes. Endpoints assessed were all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction (MI), and cerebral stroke. RESULTS The meta-analysis included 100 studies, with a total of 19,192 subjects. There was no difference between the 2 techniques with respect to all-cause mortality and MI (odds ratio [OR], 0.88; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.71-1.09; P = .25; I(2) = 0% and OR, 0.90; 95% CI, 0.77-1.05; P = .19; I(2) = 0%, respectively). OPCAB was associated with a significant 28% reduction in the odds of cerebral stroke (OR, 0.72; 95% CI, 0.56-0.92; P = .009; I(2) = 0%). A significant relationship between patient risk profile and benefits from OPCAB was found in terms of all-cause mortality (P < .01), MI (P < .01), and cerebral stroke (P < .01). CONCLUSIONS OPCAB is associated with a significant reduction in the odds of cerebral stroke compared with conventional CABG. In addition, benefits of OPCAB in terms of death, MI, and cerebral stroke are significantly related to patient risk profile, suggesting that OPCAB should be strongly considered in high-risk patients.

Abstract
While coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has been playing a significant role in the revascularization for ischemic heart disease, neurological complications associated with CABG have been a primary concern. Stroke, although the incidence is low, is one of the most devastating complication of CABG. Many studies have identified the risk factors for stroke with CABG, such as prior stroke, carotid artery stenosis, aortic atherosclerosis, atrial fibrillation and cardiopulmonary bypass. Various rational approaches focusing on individual risk factor have been proposed for the stroke. Prophylactic carotid revascularization is an important strategy, and the diagnosis of carotid stenosis has to be established correctly. Prevention of emboli from aortic plaque is also an essential issue. Intraoperative monitoring with transesophageal or epiaortic ultrasound is useful to identify mobile atheromatous plaques and to select appropriate aortic manipulations. Maintenance of cerebral blood flow and blood pressure during cardiopulmonary bypass might be critical issues. Besides, there are conflicting two opinions regarding off-pump CABG; one supports an efficiency for the prevention of stroke while the other advocates no effect. This discrepancy might be explained by the difference of the risk of stroke in the population of the individual study and by the variation of the percentage of aortic clamping or aortic anastomosis in each study. Pharmaceutical therapies such as statin, preventive medication for atrial fibrillation, or antiplatelet are promising methods. Although it is hard to decrease the incidence of the stroke with any single countermeasure, sustained effort should be continued to overcome the stroke associated with CABG.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine whether the incidence of postoperative stroke could be reduced by eliminating aortic clamping during coronary artery bypass grafting. METHODS From 2002 to 2013, 12,079 patients underwent primary, isolated coronary artery bypass grafting at a single US academic institution. Aortic manipulation was completely avoided by using in situ internal thoracic arteries for inflow in 1552 patients (12.9%) (no-touch), a clampless facilitating device for proximal anastomoses in 1548 patients (12.8%), and aortic clamping in 8979 patients (74.3%). These strategies were assessed in a logistic regression model controlling for relevant variables. RESULTS The overall incidence of postoperative stroke was 1.4% (n = 165), with an unadjusted incidence of 0.6% (n = 10) in the no-touch group, 1.2% (n = 18) in the clampless facilitating device group, and 1.5% (n = 137) in the clamp group (P < .01 for no-touch vs clamp). The ratio of observed to expected stroke rate increased as the degree of aortic manipulation increased, from 0.48 in the no-touch group, to 0.61 in the clampless facilitating device group, and to 0.95 in the clamp group. Aortic clamping was independently associated with an increase in postoperative stroke compared with a no-touch technique (adjusted odds ratio, 2.50; P < .01). When separated by cardiopulmonary bypass use, both the off-pump partial clamp and the on-pump crossclamp techniques increased the risk of postoperative stroke compared with no-touch (adjusted odds ratio, 2.52, P < .01; and adjusted odds ratio, 4.25, P < .001, respectively). CONCLUSIONS A no-aortic touch technique has the lowest risk for postoperative stroke for patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting. Clamping the aorta during coronary artery bypass grafting increases the risk of postoperative stroke, regardless of the severity of aortic disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is an important neuropsychiatric complication of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). It is most likely caused by microembolic brain damage and affects domains of attention, memory, executive functions and dexterity. In order to achieve better neuroprotection, surgeons introduced some advantageous operating procedures. Noteworthy among them is a state-of-the-art off-pump CABG aorta no-touch technique ("no touch" OPCABG). The aim of this study was to investigate the short-term effect of "no touch" OPCABG on patients' attention and executive functions. METHODS In this prospective, observational, single-surgeon trial, 74 patients scheduled for elective CABG were studied. Thirty-five patients underwent "no-touch" OPCABG and were compared to 39 patients who underwent "traditional" OPCABG. Subjects underwent neurological and neuropsychological evaluation at the time of admission (7 ± 2 days preoperatively) and discharge (7 days postoperatively). RESULTS Patients who underwent "traditional" OPCABG showed a significant decline in postoperative performance on 4 neuropsychological tests, while patients treated with "no touch" OPCABG showed a significant decline on 1 test. Twenty patients from "traditional" OPCABG group and ten patients from "no touch" OPCABG group were diagnosed with POCD. CONCLUSIONS Use of "no touch" OPCABG was associated with better attention and executive functions 1 week after surgery compared with "traditional" OPCABG.

Impact of different surgical strategies on perioperative protein S100β release in elderly patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting. INNOVATIONS-TECHNOLOGY AND TECHNIQUES IN CARDIOTHORACIC AND VASCULAR SURGERY 2014; 8:230-6.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study was designed to compare neurological injury-associated protein S100β release during three different treatment modalities, minimized closed circuit coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) (MCABG), off-pump CABG (OPCAB), and conventional CABG (CCABG), comprising high-volume prime and cold crystalloid cardioplegia. Our working hypothesis was that fluid restriction as provided by MCABG may decrease neurological injury-associated protein S100β release. METHODS In this prospective trial, in a tertiary center, 30 surgical patients (aged >70 years, 25 men and 5 women) undergoing first-time elective CABG were enrolled. The inclusion criteria were three-vessel disease and elective surgery. The exclusion criteria were left ventricular ejection fraction of less than 30%, use of clopidogrel, carotid disease, or needing fewer than three distal anastomoses. Protein S100β concentrations, hematocrit (Ht) levels, and PO2 levels were measured after induction of anesthesia, 10 minutes after reperfusion, upon arrival at the intensive care unit, 3 hours postoperatively at the intensive care unit, and the next morning. Statistics consisted of areas under the curve, peak levels, and correlation and variance tests. RESULTS A significant negative correlation was found indicating higher S100β release at lower Ht levels and at lower PO2 levels in all study groups. The lowest S100β variance was measured during MCABG (Wilks Λ P = 0.052). The perioperative Ht was significantly higher in the MCABG group and in the OPCAB group compared with the CCABG group (P = 0.04 vs P < 0.01). At all time points, the S100β protein concentration showed no significant differences between the different surgical techniques. The mean (95% confidence interval) values of S100 area under the curve were the following: CCABG, 2.3 (1.06-3.5); MCABG, 1.44 (0.6-2.21); and OPCAB, 1.87 (1.5-2.19) [independent nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis test (P = 0.13)]. The mean (95% confidence interval) peak S100 values (calculated as the maximum value seen in a patient during the research period) were the following: CCABG, 1.07 (0.4-1.68); MCABG, 0.59 (0.28-0.90); and OPCAB, 0.83 (0.59-1.06) [independent nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis test (P = 0.22)]. CONCLUSIONS Despite similar perioperative S100β protein release for all techniques studied, higher Ht and PO2 levels correlated with lower S100β release within all study groups. The low S100β variance during the fluid restrictive MCABG technique may be due to more efficient oxygen transport to the brain provided by significantly higher perioperative Ht levels. Further prospective data are required to better understand this complex issue.

Abstract
Objective Reoperative coronary surgery patients are usually sicker and older, and the procedure is more technically demanding. Comparisons between coronary surgery with (coronary artery bypass [CAB] surgery on cardiopulmonary bypass [CPB]) and without (off-pump CAB [OPCAB]) the pump have been conducted; however, few studies showed results in reoperative cases. We investigate the potential superiority of one technique over the other in redo coronary surgeries. Methods Our institutional Society of Thoracic Surgery database was used to gather the data for 266 isolated reoperative coronary artery surgeries from January 2004 to July 2011. These were divided into the CAB surgery in CPB group (n = 204) and the OPCAB group (n = 62). Results Baseline characteristics of the two groups were similar, except for a significantly higher prevalence of cerebrovascular disease among the off-pump group ( P = 0.01). There was also a trend toward fewer vessels bypassed among the same group ( P = 0.07). Risk adjustment was done using multivariable analyses for detection of independent effects. The use of CPB was an independent predictor of increased rates of postoperative events (odds ratio, 3.9; P = 0.004) and atrial fibrillation (odds ratio, 5.9; P < 0.005) and longer intensive care unit (0.006) and hospital stay (0.004). Conclusions Redo OPCAB seems to offer favorable short-term outcomes compared with redo CAB. Our results suggest a reduced rate of overall postoperative events, decreased new postoperative atrial fibrillation, reduced hours stayed in the intensive care unit, and fewer days stayed from surgery to discharge. This was not associated with an increase in morbidity and mortality. A randomized study with a larger number of patients and with a longer follow-up is needed.

Risk of stroke with percutaneous coronary intervention compared with on-pump and off-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery: Evidence from a comprehensive network meta-analysis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although some trials have reported that on-pump coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery may be associated with higher rates of stroke than percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), whether stroke is more common after off-pump CABG compared with PCI is unknown. We therefore sought to determine whether off-pump CABG is associated with an increased risk of stroke compared with PCI by means of network meta-analysis. METHODS Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing CABG vs PCI were searched through MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane databases, and proceedings of international meetings. RESULTS Eighty-three RCTs with 22,729 patients randomized to on-pump CABG (n = 10,957), off-pump CABG (n = 7,119), or PCI (n = 4,653) were analyzed. Thirty-day rates of stroke were significantly lower in patients treated with PCI compared with either off-pump CABG (odds ratio [OR]; 0.39, 95% CI, 0.19-0.83) or on-pump CABG (OR, 0.26; 95% CI, 0.12-0.47). Compared with on-pump CABG, off-pump CABG was associated with significantly lower 30-day risk of stroke (OR, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.41-0.95). However, in sensitivity analyses restricted to high-quality studies, studies with more than either 100 or 1,000 patients, or studies with protocol definition or adjudication of stroke by a clinical events committee, the precision of the point estimate for the 30-day risk of stroke between off-pump vs on-pump CABG was markedly reduced. CONCLUSIONS Percutaneous coronary intervention is associated with lower 30-day rates of stroke than both off-pump and on-pump CABG. Further studies are required to determine whether the risk of stroke is reduced with off-pump CABG compared with on-pump CABG.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of the present study was to determine the effect of different clamping strategies during coronary artery bypass grafting on the incidence of postoperative stroke. METHODS In the present case-control study, all patients at Emory hospitals from 2002 to 2009 with postoperative stroke after isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (n = 141) were matched 1:4 to a contemporaneous cohort of patients without postoperative stroke (n = 565). The patients were matched according to the Society of Thoracic Surgeons' predicted risk of postoperative stroke score, which is based on 26 variables. The patients who received on-pump and off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting were matched separately. Multiple logistic regression analysis with adjusted odds ratios was performed to identify the operative variables associated with postoperative stroke. RESULTS Among the on-pump cohort, the single crossclamp technique was associated with a decreased risk of stroke compared with the double clamp (crossclamp plus partial clamp) technique (odds ratio, 0.385; P = .044). Within the on-pump cohort, no significant difference was seen in the incidence of stroke according to clamp use. Epiaortic ultrasound of the ascending aorta increased from 45.3% in 2002 to 89.4% in 2009. From 2002 to 2009, clamp use decreased from 97.7% of cases to 72.7%. CONCLUSIONS During on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting, the use of a single crossclamp compared with the double clamp technique decreased the risk of postoperative stroke. The use of any aortic clamp decreased and epiaortic ultrasound use increased from 2002 to 2009, indicating a change in the operative technique and surgeon awareness of the potential complications associated with manipulation of the aorta.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Distal cerebral embolization is a known complication of carotid interventions. We prospectively investigated whether subclinical microembolization seen on postoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) leads to cognitive deficits in patients undergoing carotid revascularization procedures. METHODS Patients undergoing carotid interventions and eligible for MRI scanning were recruited. Among 247 patients who received preoperative and postoperative MRI evaluations, 51 also completed neuropsychologic testing before and at 1 month after their procedure. Cognitive evaluation included the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT) for memory evaluation and the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) for general cognitive impairment screening. RESULTS The 51 patients (all men), comprising 16 with carotid artery stenting (CAS) and 35 with carotid endarterectomy (CEA), were a mean age of 71 years (range, 54-89 years). Among them, 27 patients (53%) were symptomatic preoperatively, including 11 who had prior stroke and 16 who had prior preoperative transient ischemic attack symptoms. Most patients had significant medical comorbidities, including hypertension (96%), diabetes (31.3%), coronary artery disease (47%), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (15.7%). Two patients (4%) had prior ipsilateral CEA and eight had contralateral carotid occlusion (15.7%). Memory decline evident on RAVLT was identified in eight CAS patients and 13 CEA patients. Eleven patients had evidence of procedure-related microemboli. Although there was no significant difference in baseline cognitive function or memory change between the CEA and CAS cohorts, the CAS cohort had a significantly higher incidence of microembolic lesions. Multivariate regression analysis showed that procedure-related microembolization was associated with memory decline (P = .016) as evident by change in RAVLT. A history of neurologic symptoms was significantly associated with poor baseline cognitive function (MMSE; P = .03) and overall cognitive deterioration (change in MMSE; P = .026), as determined by Wilcoxon rank sum test and linear regression analysis, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Although CEA and CAS are effective in stroke prevention, with minimal neurologic complication, neurocognitive effects remain uncertain. Procedure-associated microembolization and pre-existing neurologic symptoms are associated with poor baseline cognitive function and memory decline after the procedures. Further comprehensive cognitive evaluation to determine the benefit of carotid interventions is warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is performed both without and with cardiopulmonary bypass, referred to as off-pump and on-pump CABG respectively. However, the preferable technique is unclear. OBJECTIVES To assess the benefits and harms of off-pump versus on-pump CABG in patients with ischaemic heart disease. SEARCH METHODS We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) on The Cochrane Library (Issue 1, 2011), MEDLINE (OVID, 1950 to February 2011), EMBASE (OVID, 1980 to February 2011), Science Citation Index Expanded on ISI Web of Science (1970 to February 2011) and CINAHL (EBSCOhost, 1981 to February 2011) on 2 February 2011. No language restrictions were applied. SELECTION CRITERIA Randomised clinical trials of off-pump versus on-pump CABG irrespective of language, publication status and blinding were selected for inclusion. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS For statistical analysis of dichotomous data risk ratio (RR) and for continuous data mean difference (MD) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were used. Trial sequential analysis (TSA) was used for analysis to assess the risk of random error due to sparse data and to multiple updating of accumulating data. MAIN RESULTS Eighty-six trials (10,716 participants) were included. Ten trials (4,950 participants) were considered to be low risk of bias. Pooled analysis of all trials showed that off-pump CABG increased all-cause mortality compared with on-pump CABG (189/5,180 (3.7%) versus 160/5144 (3.1%); RR 1.24, 95% CI 1.01 to 1.53; P =.04). In the trials at low risk of bias the effect was more pronounced (154/2,485 (6.2%) versus 113/2,465 (4.6%), RR 1.35,95% CI 1.07 to 1.70; P =.01). TSA showed that the risk of random error on the result was unlikely. Off-pump CABG resulted in fewer distal anastomoses (MD -0.28; 95% CI -0.40 to -0.16, P <.00001). No significant differences in myocardial infarction, stroke, renal insufficiency, or coronary re-intervention were observed. Off-pump CABG reduced post-operative atrial fibrillation compared with on-pump CABG, however, in trials at low risk of bias, the estimated effect was not significantly different. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS Our systematic review did not demonstrate any significant benefit of off-pump compared with on-pump CABG regarding mortality, stroke, or myocardial infarction. In contrast, we observed better long-term survival in the group of patients undergoing on-pump CABG with the use of cardiopulmonary bypass and cardioplegic arrest. Based on the current evidence, on-pump CABG should continue to be the standard surgical treatment. However, off-pump CABG may be acceptable when there are contraindications for cannulation of the aorta and cardiopulmonary bypass. Further randomised clinical trials should address the optimal treatment in such patients.
