On-pump versus off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery for multi-vessel coronary revascularization.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study aims to compare the operative and postoperative results of on-pump (ONCAB) and off-pump (OPCAB) coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) for multi-vessel coronary revascularization (≥4 anastomoses).

Methods

From May 2018 to August 2019, a total of 120 patients (22.5% women, mean age 61.5±8.4 years) received either ONCAB (Group 1, n=60) or OPCAB (Group 2, n=60) for multi-vessel coronary artery disease (CAD). Preoperative left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF) was 53.1%±8.4%. Median EuroSCORE II was 1.59 (interquartile range, 1.01-2.54). The median number of performed coronary anastomoses was 4 (interquartile range, 4-5), with equal distribution in both groups (P=0.4). All procedures were performed by highly experienced surgeons.
