Abstract Patients with bilateral high degree carotid stenosis or occlusion impose high risk for neurological complications during coronary arterial bypass surgery (CABG). Former articles have described successful CABG in patients..
Read More
Abstract Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has been widely used in cardiac surgery to monitor cerebral oxygen supply. The initiation and perioperative management of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) constitute critical events in modifying..
