BACKGROUND: There are ample data regarding the short-term outcomes of on-pump and
off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), but little is known about the long-term …

Objective To determine whether off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is
associated with worse long-term survival compared with on-pump CABG. We performed a …

BACKGROUND: As the population of the United States and Western Europe ages, the
number of patients undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) for …

Although numerous reports describe the results of off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting
(CABG) at specialized centers and in select patient populations, it remains unclear how off …

Background: Long-term benefits of off-pump versus on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting
(CABG) are controversial. Objectives: The authors sought to compare long-term survival and …

Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is suggested to be associated with an
increase in long-term (≥ 5-year) all-cause mortality. To determine whether off-pump CABG …

OBJECTIVES Recent studies have once again brought into focus the long-term survival
following off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) compared with conventional on …

Background—Off-pump coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is purported to reduce
perioperative mortality and morbidity compared with on-pump coronary bypass graft surgery …

Objective To evaluate survival and readmissions to hospital for cardiac events or coronary
revascularization (REVASC) in patients having off-pump (OPCAB) versus conventional on …

Background. The purpose of this study was to determine whether coronary artery bypass
grafting without cardiopulmonary bypass (off-pump CABG) decreases risk-adjusted …
