Resensitization - Should repeat testing be performed in patients undergoing penicillin allergy evaluations? A Pro-Con Debate.

Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting is Overutilized.

Semin Thorac Cardiovasc Surg

December 2024

Department of Cardiac Surgery, Smidt Heart Institute, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, California. Electronic address:

Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), developed to avoid the potential complications of cardiopulmonary bypass, remains a subject of debate. Studies have demonstrated that off-pump CABG is associated with higher rates of incomplete revascularization, inferior graft patency, and increased reintervention rates compared to on-pump CABG, leading to worse outcomes. The theoretical neuroprotective and renal-protective benefits associated with off-pump CABG have not been definitively proven, with stroke and renal failure rates similar to those of on-pump CABG in both short- and long-term follow-up.
