Atrial fibrillation following off-pump versus on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting: Incidence and risk factors.

BACKGROUND Postoperative atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common arrhythmia that occurs after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). New surgical techniques, particularly off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB), are thought to be less invasive and results in fewer complications, i.e. AF, but available data are inconsistent. The aim of this study is to present the incidence and risk factors of AF ...

Frequency of Stroke After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention or Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (from an Eleven-Year Statewide Analysis).

We compared stroke rates associated with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), both on-pump and off-pump, and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with both drug-eluting stent (DES) and bare-metal stent (BMS) and the impact on 30-day and 1-year all-cause mortality. The Myocardial Infarction Data Acquisition System database was used to study patients who had on-pump CABG (n = 47,254), off-...

Causes of Death Following PCI Versus CABG in Complex CAD: 5-Year Follow-Up of SYNTAX.

BACKGROUND There are no data available on specific causes of death from randomized trials that have compared coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to investigate specific causes of death, and its predictors, after revascularization for complex coronary disease in patients. METHODS An independent Clinica...

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...
