A randomized comparison of off-pump and on-pump multivessel coronary-artery bypass surgery

Abstract

A randomized comparison of off-pump and on-pump multivessel coronary-artery bypass surgery. The New England journal of medicine, 350 (1). pp. 21-8.

Coronary vein graft disease: Pathogenesis and prevention

“…There was a higher overall graft patency rate for the on-pump group, which was entirely due to left internal mammary artery or radial artery grafts. There was no difference in patency rates for vein grafts (95% in the on-pump group and 91% in the off-pump group; P=0.42) (43).…”

Is it time to adopt beating-heart coronary artery bypass grafting? A review of literature

“…Khan et al [73] reported patency rates of 88% and 98%, respectively, in OPCAB and CABG with bypass surgery. However, a closer analysis of this study [73] shows that the limited experience of the surgeons, coupled with the intraoperative administration of a relatively low dose of heparin, the absence of aggressive postoperative antiplatelet therapy with clopidogrel, and the failure to use new suction devices to optimize exposure, may have confounded the analyses of graft patency among patients who underwent off-pump procedures [74].…”

Resultados inmediatos y a mediano plazo de la cirugía coronaria sin circulación extracorpórea: Experience in 220 patients

“…Khan y cols mostraron que a los tres meses de la cirugía, la permeabilidad global de los puentes realizados sin CEC era significativamente menor que la de los puentes realizados con bomba (88% versus 98%) 15 . Hannan y cols estudiaron 13.889 pacientes operados sin CEC con 35.941 pacientes operados con CEC entre los años 2001 y 2004 en el estado de Nueva York.…”
