Transient Bilateral Cortical Visual Loss After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting in a Normotensive Risk-Free Patient
Heart Surg Forum 11:#2008-1014, Bagheri, J.,et al, 2008
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Although most cases of visual lost after open heart surgery have been caused by injuries to the peripheral optic system, cortical blindness may occur following open heart surgery in the absence of any preexisting risk factor. Fortunately, the course of recovery is promising one, as it was for our patient.
