On- versus off-pump CABG in octogenarians: A propensity-matched analysis from the UK National Database.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) remains a good revascularization strategy in octogenarians with excellent clinical outcomes and quality of life postoperatively. However, the benefits of off-pump over on-pump CABG in the elderly population are still controversial. We investigated this issue in the UK National Audit database.

Method

We retrospectively analyzed all octogenarians undergoing nonemergency, isolated CABG from 1996 to 2019. Propensity score matching (PSM) was conducted to adjust for imbalance in the baseline characteristics between the off-pump and on-pump groups. Primary outcome was in-hospital mortality and postoperative cerebrovascular accidents. Secondary outcomes were bleeding requiring reoperation, deep sternal wound infection, and postoper
