MIDCAB versus off-pump CABG: Comparative study

Off-Pump Versus On-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery, prospective cohort study

Introduction: Coronary artery bypass grafting is a surgical operation that bypasses atherosclerotic coronary vessels and restores blood flow to the ischemic zone of hearts. And two different conventional methods are ON-pump CABG, and Off-pump CABG.  Altogether, the efficacy and safety of these two types of surgical procedures are still under debate. In this study, we aim to com...

Clinical outcome and quality of life after reoperative CABG: off-pump versus on-pump – observational pilot study

BACKGROUND Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) on cardiopulmonary bypass (CBP) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. In high-risk patients, doomed for reoperation the adverse effects of CBP may be more striking. We evaluated the results of reoperative CABG (redo-CABG) by either off-pump (OPCAB) or on-pump (ONCAB). Clinical endpoints were perioperative myocardial infarction,...

Performance of EuroSCORE II in the prediction of in-hospital death after on pump versus off pump CABG

Results 862 pts (63±10y, 69% male); 57% OPCAB. Median ES II=1,12%; ES I=2,45%. Observed mortality was 2,9%. OPCAB pts had lower glucose, higher ejection fraction, less previous surgeries, less LMCA lesions, smaller bleeding and less distal anastomosis (3,2±1,2 x 3,8±1,0, p<0,001). They had similar use of LITA (89,8% x 86,2%, p=0,102) and complete revascularization (94,9% x 94,5%, p=0,820). In b...

Comparison of long-term outcomes between Off-Pump CABG and conventional CABG.

Method This retrospective study was based on data from 183 patients who underwent CABG between January, 2000 and December, 2005. OPCAB was performed in 102 patients and c-CABG in 81. The mean follow-up duration was 107 months. The end-points of long-term results were overall death, freedom from cardiac death and major adverse cardiac events (MACE). We expressed the Kaplan-Meyer survival curve, ...
