Why the study?
Does cannulation of the distal aortic arch reduce cerebral emboli in patients undergoing isolated CABG compared to standard ascending aorta cannulation?
Does cannulation of the distal aortic arch reduce cerebral emboli in patients undergoing isolated CABG compared to standard ascending aorta cannulation?
Distal aortic arch cannulation and minimizing perfusionist interventions during cardiopulmonary bypass can reduce cerebral microemboli and may prevent postoperative neuropsychological impairment.

Supports distal arch cannulation in CABG to reduce emboli; extends evidence on minimizing perfusion interventions for neuropsychological outcomes.
Borger et al. (2002) studied this question.
