The use of an anastomosis assist device during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is considered less invasive for the ascending aorta than the use of a side-biting clamp (Side-clamp) and to possibly be associated with a lower incidence of postoperative stroke. However, this benefit has not yet been clearly demonstrated. This study was to evaluate whether the use of an anastomosis assist device will minimize the postoperative stroke and other complications in patients undergoing off-pump CABG in comparison with the use of the Side-clamp.
