BACKGROUND: The incidence and etiology of brain dysfunction after conventional coronary artery bypass surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) are reviewed. METHODS: Stroke rates and incidences of cognitive dysfunction from various studies are considered. Mechanisms of injury including cerebral embolization as detected by transcranial Doppler and retinal angiography, and imaging-based evidence for postoperative cerebral edema, are discussed. Preliminary results from a prospective clinical trial assessing cognitive dysfunction after beating heart versus conventional coronary artery bypass with CPB are discussed. RESULTS: Initial evidence for lower overall postoperative morbidity, and for a lower incidence of cognitive dysfunction specifically, after nonpump coronary revascularization is presented. CONCLUSIONS: Beating heart surgery results in less potential for generation of cerebral emboli and appears to produce a lower incidence of cognitive dysfunction in both short- and intermediate-term postoperative follow-up periods as compared with conventional coronary artery bypass surgery using CPB.
