Avoiding the Clamp during Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Reduces Cerebral Embolic Events: Results of a Prospective Randomized Trial
The purpose of this study was to determine whether a clampless facilitating device (CFD) to perform proximal aortocoronary anastomoses would result in a lower incidence of cerebral embolic events compared with a partial clamping strategy during off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB).
