Neurocognitive dysfunction is a common complication after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Studies using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have demonstrated that new focal brain lesions can occur after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), even in patients without apparent neurological deficits. Diffusion-weighted MRI is superior to conventional MRI and allows for sensitive and early detection of ischemic brain lesions. We prospectively investigated cerebral injury early and 3 months after CABG using diffusion-weighted MRI and related the findings to clinical data and neurocognitive functions.
