NCT00862160

Brief Summary

The prospective, randomized, two centre study investigates acute cerebrovascular events during extracorporal circulation and the early post operative outcome when using either the minimized cardiopulmonary bypass circuit (ROCsafeTM) or a standard cardiopulmonary bypass circuit in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting.
