AI Article Synopsis
- The shift from the second to the third millennium was important for heart surgery, especially for a procedure called off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG).
- At first, people were excited about this technique, but later many felt it didn't work as well as they hoped.
- The article suggests looking at what we've learned from OPCABG to improve heart surgery now and in the future.
Article Abstract
The transition from the second to the third millennium happened to be a turning point in the history of myocardial revascularization on a beating heart, which moved from technical development to critical evaluation. This article describes how the initial acceptance and spread of off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG) was followed by the general perception that the technique could not fulfill the expectations placed in it and provides some insight on what should we do with the know-how of OPCABG in the present and the future of coronary surgical revascularization.
