Background: In an effort to avoid the adverse effects of cardiopulmonary bypass, "off-pump" myocardial revascularization has been rediscovered and refined. This study reviews the first 100 off-pump coronary artery bypass procedures performed in Tyler, TX, and compares the results with those reported in the Seventh Annual Report of the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) Cardiac Surgery Database.
Methods: Coronary artery bypass was performed on 100 patients without cardiopulmonary bypass over a 24-month period.

Article Synopsis
- Clot dissolution and restored blood flow contribute to better outcomes and lower mortality rates in patients with acute myocardial infarction after thrombolytic therapy.
- A study compared two treatment regimens using rt-PA: a standard 3-hour infusion versus an accelerated 90-minute infusion, finding the latter resulted in higher angiographic patency rates after 60 minutes.
- Despite the differences in patency rates, both groups had similar occurrences of complications, such as recurrent ischemia and bleeding issues.
