The transient cognitive benefit of off-pump CABG does not persist long-term; leaves.
Does off-pump CABG surgery reduce cognitive decline in patients undergoing CABG compared to on-pump CABG surgery?
Off-pump CABG provides a transient reduction in cognitive decline at 1 to 3 months compared to on-pump CABG, but this benefit is negligible within 2 weeks and at 6 to 12 months post-procedure.
