The superiority of either off-pump (OPCAB) or on-pump (ONCAB) coronary artery bypass
grafting (CABG) remains unclear despite a large body of literature evidence comparing the …

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 …

Background The purpose of this evidence-based consensus statement is to systematically
review and meta-analyze the randomized and nonrandomized evidence comparing off …

BACKGROUND: Although a lot of randomized trials of off-pump coronary artery bypass
grafting (CABG) versus on-pump CABG were conducted, the majority of them reported only …

BACKGROUND: Uncertainty continues to surround the relative benefits and harms of
conventional coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and off-pump coronary artery bypass …

Background: When comparing effects of on-versus off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting
(CABG), it is important to assess the long-term clinical outcomes. However, most research …

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 …

Importance The long-term benefits of off-pump (“beating heart”) vs on-pump coronary artery
bypass grafting (CABG) remain controversial. Objective To evaluate the 10-year outcomes …

Background Despite many studies comparing on-versus off-pump coronary artery bypass
graft (CABG), there is no consensus as to whether one of these techniques offers patients …
