Comparison of off-pump and on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting in midterm results

Abstract: Midterm clinical outcome in OPCAB is as good as conventional on-pump CABG. Incomplete revascularization caused cardiac events more frequently than complete revascularization both in OPCAB and on-pump CABG in the intermediate follow-up.

“…Some authors reported increased reintervention rates following OPCAB compared to conventional CABG 3,7 . The etiology for higher than expected repeat revascularization may be attributed to early graft closure or progression of atherosclerosis in the previously ungrafted coronary arteries 8,9 . Others, however, have found similar graft patency rates 10 and similar reintervention rates during mid‐term follow‐up between on‐pump and off‐pump CABG 1,11,12 …”

“…Consequently, performing CABG on the beating heart without cardiopulmonary bypass (“off-pump”) was first introduced in the mid-1980s to reduce postoperative complications, especially in high-risk patients [ 7 ]. Although the long-term effectiveness of off-pump CABG (OPCABG) remains controversial, studies have shown that OPCABG reduces the operation time, the duration of intensive care unit (ICU) admission, the rate of blood transfusion, and early morbidity [ 4 , 8 ].…”

“…8 -10 This occurs despite the use of the left internal thoracic artery, bypassing the left anterior descending artery (LAD), which supposes to improve the postoperative results and longevity after coronary artery bypass surgery. 11 Risk of operation in diabetic patients may increase because the coronary arteries are relatively small and diffusely diseased. [12][13][14][15] It is common knowledge that the coronary arteries in diabetic patients are heavily calcified and present difficulties during anastomosis.…”
