In this single center prospective cohort study a total of 100 patients scheduled for elective off-pump CABG will be recruited. They will be allocated to one study and one control group according to the presence or absence of postoperative type 2 neurological complications. The two groups will be compared in terms of serum concentrations of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), neuroserpin (NSP), phosphorylated axonal neurofilament subunit H (pNfH) and visinin-like protein 1 (VILIP-1) at the time of skin incision and closure as well as 24 hours and 7 days following surgery. Diagnostic performance of these markers for predicting type 2 neurological complications of off-pump CABG will be assessed.

Assessment of serum GFAP concentration (ng/ml) changes.
Comparison of patients with and without type 2 neurological complications in respect to changes from baseline concentration of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP).
Time frame: GFAP concentrations will be measured preoperatively (at the time of initial skin incision), at the completion of surgery (at the time of skin closure) as well as 24 hours and 7 days following off-pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG).
Assessment of serum NSP concentration (ng/ml) changes.
Comparison of patients with and without type 2 neurological complications in respect to changes from baseline concentration of neuroserpin (NSP).
Time frame: NSP concentrations will be measured preoperatively (at the time of initial skin incision), at the completion of surgery (at the time of skin closure) as well as 24 hours and 7 days following off-pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG).
Assessment of serum pNfH concentration (ng/ml) changes.
Comparison of patients with and without type 2 neurological complications in respect to changes from baseline concentration of neuroserpin phosphorylated axonal neurofilament subunit H (pNfH).
Time frame: pNfH concentrations will be measured preoperatively (at the time of initial skin incision), at the completion of surgery (at the time of skin closure) as well as 24 hours and 7 days following off-pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG).
Assessment of serum VILIP-1 concentration (ng/ml) changes.
Comparison of patients with and without type 2 neurological complications in respect to changes from baseline concentration of visinin-like protein 1 (VILIP-1).
Time frame: VILIP-1 concentrations will be measured preoperatively (at the time of initial skin incision), at the completion of surgery (at the time of skin closure) as well as 24 hours and 7 days following off-pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG).
