Conditions

atherosclerosis embolism

Interventions

Procedure. After written informed consent is obtained, a pre-surgery DW-MRI scan of the brain will be made to determine the number, size and location of lesions present before surgery. Also, Quality

ward: Delirium Observation Scale). All major complications are registered during hospital stay and neurologic complications will be registered up till 6 weeks after surgery. At six weeks post-surger

Eligibility

Age

18 Years to 99 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: All on pump CABG patients who have a relatively high risk of neurologic complications, as identified by the Stroke Risk Index, and who also have signed an informed consent.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Patients with contra-indications for TEE (e.g. esophageal pathology or hiatal hernia) or for the A-View® method (e.g. severe COPD, tracheal dysfunction) are excluded. Similarly, patients in whom no MRI can be made (e.g. with external pacemaker or claustrofobia) are also excluded.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Will the use of the A-View method lead to a change in embolic events due to cardiac surgery, visible on the postoperative DW-MRI by patients after CABG?	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Will the use of the A-View method lead to a reduction in the number of patients with delirium and cognitive dysfunction after CABG surgery How often will the diagnostic information of the A-view method lead to a change in surgical policy	—
