To provide understanding of influence of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) on cerebral blood flow (CBF), we investigated the effect of CPB on patients cerebral haemodynamic parameters. Twenty-three patients were prospectively enrolled. CBF was estimated by transcranial Doppler (TCD) to measure blood velocity in the middle cerebral artery (MVMCA), preoperatively (T0) and at four postoperative times (T1, T2, T3, T4). At times T2, T3 and T4, MVMCA remained at higher levels than T0 (
