What is the long-term functional impact and prognosis of early neurological complications following coronary artery bypass graft surgery?

Population

312 patients who underwent coronary artery bypass graft surgery, of whom 191 (61%) developed early postoperative neurological disorders.

Intervention

Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery

Outcome

Clinical course and functional impact of early postoperative neurological complications at six monthssafety

Early neurological complications after CABG generally have a favorable long-term prognosis and rarely prevent return to work, with major disability largely confined to those who suffer major perioperative stroke.
