The study included 192 patients divided into 3 groups: in group 1 patients (n=88) underwent standard CABG; in group 2 (n=61) different methods of CABG were used; a control group consisted of 43 people. MMSE, FAB, Clock drawing test, Shultz tables, semantic verbal fluency, Wechsler adult intelligence scale were used for neurological testing.
