Background We have performed off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting and also
performed early postoperative angiography to assess anastomosis accuracy and patency in …

OBJECTIVE: We performed early postoperative angiography to assess anastomosis
accuracy and patency after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting. METHODS: One …

OBJECTIVE: We analyzed the angiographic changes of the anastomotic sites at three time
points for 5 years after off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery. METHODS: Of the 402 …

Objectives One of the potential drawbacks of off-pump coronary artery bypass is reduced
patency compared with conventional coronary artery bypass. This study examined the …

Background: We sought to determine the feasibility of off-pump coronary artery bypass
grafting (OPCAB) in a consecutive series and prospectively assess the value of immediate …

BACKGROUND: Some concerns have been raised about technical accuracy and quality of
distal anastomoses in off-pump myocardial revascularization (OPCAB), which could affect …

Background: As off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) has gained wide
attention, the quality of surgical revascularization, which showed favorable initial results, is …

Objective: Although short‐term results of off‐pump coronary artery bypass grafting are well
documented, late postoperative data are still scarce. This report provides an analysis of late …

BACKGROUND: The benefits of a minimally invasive approach to off-pump coronary artery
bypass remain controversial. The value of completion arteriography in validating this …

BACKGROUND: Early graft failure is a common cause of cardiac mortality and morbidity
after coronary artery bypass grafting, but there is little information on its natural incidence …
