Article Abstract
The release of myocardial necrosis biomarkers after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) frequently occurs. However, the correlation between biomarker release and the diagnosis of procedure-related myocardial infarction (MI) (type 5) has been controversial. This study aimed to evaluate the amount and pattern of cardiac biomarker release after elective OPCAB in patients without evidence of a new MI on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging with late gadolinium enhancement (LGE).Patients with normal baseline cardiac biomarkers referred for elective OPCAB were prospectively included. CMR with LGE was performed in all patients before and after interventions. Measurements of troponin I (cTnI) and creatine kinase MB fraction (CK-MB) were systematically performed before and after the procedure. Patients with new LGE on the postprocedure CMR were excluded.All of the 53 patients without CMR evidence of a procedure-related MI after OPCAB exhibited a cTnI elevation peak above the 99th percentile. In 48 (91%), the peak value was >10 times this threshold. However, 41 (77%) had a CK-MB peak above the limit of the 99th percentile, and this peak was >10 times the 99th percentile in only 7 patients (13%). The median peak release of cTnI was 0.290 (0.8-3.7) ng/mL, which is 50-fold higher than the 99th percentile.In contrast with CK-MB, considerable cTnI release often occurs after an elective OPCAB procedure, despite the absence of new LGE on CMR.

Impact of zero-positive end-expiratory pressure on blood transfusion rates in off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery: a retrospective cohort study.
BMC Anesthesiol

Background: Bleeding are common in cardiac surgery, with significant impacts on transfusion-related complications and patient prognosis. This study aimed to determine the differences in perioperative blood loss, transfusion rates, and the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) with and without the use of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery (OPCAB).
Methods: This single-center, retrospective study included 106 adult patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery without cardiopulmonary bypass from January 2018 to March 2022.
Comparative Analysis of Metabolomic Responses in On-Pump and Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the metabolic differences between on-pump (ONCAB) and off-pump CABG (OPCAB) procedures following heart surgery, as their clinical effects are well known but their metabolomic impacts are less studied.
- In a trial with 20 patients, plasma samples were analyzed pre and post-surgery to find differences in metabolites using advanced techniques, revealing more significant metabolic changes in ONCAB patients, particularly right after surgery.
- Findings indicate that ONCAB leads to higher immediate metabolic disruptions, signaling cellular stress, while supporting the preference for OPCAB in patients at higher metabolic risk due to more stable metabolic outcomes.

Background: The heparin sensitivity index (HSI) is closely associated with perioperative ischemic events and increased blood loss in cardiac surgery. Previous studies have produced conflicting results. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between HSI and postoperative blood loss specifically in Chinese patients undergoing elective off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB).

Introduction: Preoperative anaemia is prevalent in a number of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting. Studies provide conflicting results due to several reasons including variation in the threshold of haematocrit used to define anaemia. We aimed to assess the independent effect of preoperative anaemia on outcomes in patients undergoing off pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB).

Objectives: Clampless aortic anastomosis devices aim to lower stroke risk in off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting. Two main strategies for clampless anastomosis devices emerged with automated anastomosis punching and aortic sealing devices, prompting the question of perioperative outcome differences.
Methods: All consecutive patients undergoing elective off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting with a clampless aortic anastomosis device between September 2014 and December 2021 in 2 centers were retrospectively included.
