title: Paraplegia after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting.
abstract: We report the case of a young patient who developed paraplegia after CABG without CPB. It is important to point out that this patient's aorta was not manipulated in any way because the only graft performed was a left internal mammary artery to left anterior descending artery.
