A major cause of stroke is cerebral embolization of aortic atheromatous debris or calcified plaques. This report analyzes the incidence of stroke in patients treated according to the clampless concept . avoiding side-clamping of the aorta by means of off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery OPCAB in combination with the HEARTSTRING device. Methods During a period of 43 months 2005-2008 412 consecutive patients were treated with the abovementioned method by one single surgeon. A minimum of one proximal aortal anastomosis was performed in each patient. Altogether 542 proximal anastomosis were applied each created by means of the HEARTSTRING device. Results The mean age of patients was 67 years the predicted mortality logistic EuroSCORE and the observed mortality . Histories of preoperative neurological disorders or cerebrovascular diseases were documented in 15 of patients. The overall incidence of postoperative stroke was in contrast to according to the stroke risk score. Conclusions In accordance to previously published data our results show that avoiding aortic side-clamping during OPCAB reduces postoperative stroke rates. The HEARTSTRING device is a safe option for creating proximal aortic anastomosis. Background Cardiac surgery is increasingly conducted in elderly patients with extensive comorbidities. Various advances in surgical techniques and anesthetic management have improved patient outcome after coronary
