چکیده

The resurgence of off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) surgery is rapidly changing surgical practice. After an initial phase of ‘healthy skepticism’, the impetus of some developed countries toward OPCAB surgery is remarkable. Hardly any OPCAB procedure was carried out before 1995 in the USA, however, by 1999 more than 11 000 (10%) coronary operations were performed on the beating heart. It is estimated that, worldwide, this percentage is currently up to 20–30%, with expectations to reach 50% by 2005. Many sceptics have become optimists following the development of enabling instruments and the publication of supportive evidence as part of observational, case-matched, and prospective randomised studies.
