Cerebrovascular Events After No‐Touch Off‐Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting, Conventional Side‐Clamp Off‐Pump Coronary Artery Bypass, and Proximal Anastomotic Devices: A Meta‐Analysis

Cerebrovascular Events After No‐Touch Off‐Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting, Conventional Side‐Clamp Off‐Pump Coronary Artery Bypass, and Proximal Anastomotic Devices: A Meta‐Analysis

BackgroundOff‐pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) has been shown to reduce the risk of neurologic complications as compared to coronary artery bypass grafting performed with cardiopulmonary bypass. Side‐clamping of the aorta while constructing proximal anastomoses, however, still carries substantial...
