On-Pump Beating Heart versus Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery: Short-Term Follow-up Outcomes of a Single Center

Abstract

Background and Aim: Novel surgical approaches are gaining attention in an attempt to overcome possible adverse events following coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. This single-center study aimed to evaluate and compare the early postoperative outcomes of on-pump beating-heart (OPBH-CABG) versus off-pump CABG surgery in similar risk groups with a total number of 1–2 grafts.
