Influencing Factors for Early Acute Cerebrovascular Accidents in Patients with Stroke History following Off-pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

Conclusions: This study indicated that patients with severe bilateral carotid stenosis, the left ventricular ejection fraction ≤35%, the postoperative acute myocardial infarction, postoperative atrial fibrillation and postoperative hypotension were more likely to suffer from early acute cerebrovascular accidents when they received OPCAB. Application of Enclose® II proximal anastomotic device may decrease the incidence of early acute cerebrovascular accidents during OPCAB.
