Neurological outcomes after on ‐pump vs off‐pump CABG in patients with cerebrovascular disease

ConclusionsIn patients with a previous TIA or stroke, off ‐pump CABG is associated with a reduced risk of stroke, delirium, and postoperative adverse neurological events, compared to on‐pump CABG. Patients with high neurological risk can potentially benefit from off‐pump CABG, due to an overall reduction of postoperative neurological complications.
