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, ...
