April 20, 2004 — Off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) is as effective and durable as standard bypass but much less expensive, according to the results of a randomized, single- surgeon trial ...

HONOLULU, June 10 – Patients undergoing coronary bypass surgery may have fewer neurological complications after surgery if a pump supporting the heart and lungs is not used, researchers say in a ...

In a systematic review and meta-analysis of 22 studies (n = 69,449), including three randomised controlled trials, the authors examined outcomes after CABG. They compared patients who had undergone ...

Remarkable technological advances have enabled coronary artery bypass (CAB) surgery to be performed without the use of cardiopulmonary bypass, by a technique called 'beating heart' or 'off-pump' CAB.

Patients who undergo off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery experience nearly one-third fewer postoperative strokes than those who receive standard surgery using cardiopulmonary ...

To the Editor: Lamy and colleagues (Dec. 15 issue) 1 report 5-year follow-up data from the CABG Off or On Pump Revascularization Study (CORONARY). They describe similar results with respect to ...

New research has demonstrated that use of the off-pump coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) technique in cardiac surgery reduces the occurrence of postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) compared with ...

For high-risk patients, the method could offer a safer alternative to open-heart surgery.

Even though coronary artery bypass graft surgery with use of cardiopulmonary bypass (on-pump CABG) is associated with cognitive decline, avoiding cardiopulmonary bypass (off-pump CABG) had no effect ...

A more modern technique for performing coronary bypass surgery is associated with worst patient outcomes than the original method, according to a study published in The New England Journal of Medicine ...
