Background: Arterial grafts had better mid-term and long-term patency than saphenous vein grafts in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). We summarized our experience with total arterial off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) and assessed the early clinical results, surgical complications, and follow-up.
Methods: From January 2007 to May 2017, 508 coronary artery disease patients undergoing total arterial OPCAB were enrolled.
