Background: Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) negates the requirement for extracorporeal circulation used with the traditional on-pump approach. However, off-pump CABG is technically more challenging and may theoretically lead to less complete revascularisation. Recent data suggests a prognostic benefit for traditional on-pump CABG, but the mechanism for this remains unclear. We hypothesised that the inferior outcomes with off-pump CABG could be driven by the need for repeat revascularisation, with this benefit only becoming clear at long-term follow-up. We therefore evaluated short, medium and long-term outcomes of patients undergoing revascularisation with on vs. off-pump CABG.
Methods: Electronic databases were searched to identify suitable randomised controlled trials enrolling ≥100 patients in each arm. Clinical outcomes were extracted at 30-days, 12-months or >4years. The primary outcome was long-term all-cause death, while secondary outcomes included 30-day, 12-month and >4-year cardiac death, stroke, myocardial infarction or revascularisation.
Results: Thirteen (13) studies comprising 13,234 patients were included. Off-pump CABG was associated with an increased risk of all-cause death (Odds Ratio [OR] 1.18, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.02-1.32, p=0.01) and repeat bypass surgery (OR 2.57, 95%CI 1.23-5.39, p=0.01) at long-term follow-up. A significant, increased requirement for revascularisation in off-pump was seen at 12-month follow-up (OR 1.59, 95%CI 1.09-2.33, p=0.02). No differences were noted between groups at 30-days, 12-months and >4years for myocardial infarction or stroke.
Conclusions: Off-pump CABG is associated with significantly higher rates of all-cause mortality rate at long-term follow-up. These outcomes demonstrate a temporal relationship that may be driven by a greater requirement for repeat revascularisation at 1- and 5-year follow-up.

We aim to evaluate the dynamics of glycemic status and markers of carbohydrate metabolism 12 months after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and their relationship with the one-year prognosis. The analysis of outcomes of 653 patients during 1 year after coronary artery bypass grafting is presented. In those patients who visited the study center after 1 year, markers of carbohydrate metabolism (glucose, glycated hemoglobin, fructosamine, 1.

Background: Literature is not clear whether women experience increased mortality and adverse events after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Studies have shown that women had comparative outcomes to men in off-pump CABG (OPCAB). Hence, we undertook this study to understand the short- and long-term outcomes of women compared to men after OPCAB.

Left ventricular (LV) thrombus is a serious complication of myocardial infarction (MI) that can lead to a fetal systemic embolism. Although coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) after MI is widely performed, to our knowledge, there are no reports of LV thrombus in the early postoperative period. Here, we report a rare case of a 70-year-old man who underwent off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) for unstable angina pectoris with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).

- This study examines the role of serum uric acid (SUA) levels in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass (OCABG) surgery, focusing on their impact on postoperative complications like acute kidney injury (AKI).
- The research involved 144 patients and found that 20% experienced AKI, with higher preoperative SUA levels significantly linked to increased risk (OR: 2.04).
- Additionally, elevated SUA levels correlated with longer hospital stays and a higher mortality rate (up to 13% in high SUA patients), indicating that SUA is a crucial predictor for postoperative outcomes.

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.
