Abstract
That some cardiac surgery results in brain damage has been known for some time and has been demonstrated in pathological findings [1, 2]. Much current attention has focused specifically on coronary artery bypass surgery (CABS) which has seen a dramatic increase in recent years. The techniques and time on extracorporeal circulation have, however, changed considerably over the years and studies performed some time ago may not provide an accurate picture of the frequency of deficits with current surgical practice [3].
