“…Elevated body mass index and its effect on patient outcome following CABG surgery remains controversial but has been suggested by some to result in worse outcome [24]. We were unable to confirm previously suggested predictors of conversion which have included: previous CABG, congestive heart failure, surgeon with early experience, low ejection fraction, and recent myocardial infarction [8,10,25,26]. Similarly, we believe that any conclusion as to why converted patients may have a higher morbidity and mortality would be speculative.…”

“…It is reasonable to assume that straightforward cases with favourable risk profiles will not require conversion. However, where patients present with risk factors predictive of several-fold increase in the risk of conversion, such as poor cardiac function [18,20,40], poor-quality coronary targets [20,40,41], prior myocardial infarction [22,40], redo or salvage revascularisation [18,22] or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [23,30], informed consent should be obtained, accounting for the possibility of conversion. It is desirable, perhaps, for future research to be directed towards developing a system for predicting the individual patient's risk of conversion.…”

“…Patients who require conversion experience higher morbidity and mortality rates. Although some previous studies [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] have focused on patients requiring conversion, the debate on off-pump vs. on-pump procedures is ongoing. We therefore evaluated the outcome of patients who were converted owing to haemodynamic instability, with the aim of identifying predictors for the need to convert and of evaluating whether temporal trends and learning curve exist.…”
