The lead article in March 20 JAMA is entitled " Cognitive Outcome
After Off-Pump and ON-Pump Coronary Bypass Graft Surgery: A Randomized Trial"
The conclusion is......"Patients who received their first CABG surgery without cardiopulmonary bypass had improved cognitive outcomes 3 months after the procedure, but the effects were limited and became negligible at 12 months."
There is a lengthy editorial comment discussing this paper
and the controversies of bypass effect on the brain .
