May inform preoperative risk stratification before CABG; hypothesis-generating for targeted prevention of rising neurological complications.
What are the independent predictors of postoperative neurological complications in patients undergoing primary isolated coronary artery bypass grafting?
Peripheral vascular atherosclerosis, neurological pathology, aorta-pathology, and perioperative myocardial infarction are independent risk factors for neurological complications after primary isolated CABG.
D.P.B. Janssen (1999) studied this question.
