Summary
Cognitive and neurological dysfunction after coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) is common
and multi-factorial in origin. Several previous studies have shown that intraoperative
aprotinin administration may be neuroprotective.in the current prospective randomized study,
the effect of intraoperative aprotinin administration on the integrity of the optic nerve and
retinal nerve fiber layer will be examined. Optical coherance tomography will be used to
examin the optic nerve and retinal nerve fiber layer.
