Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting; is it Still Relevant?

Article ID: e271021197431 Pages: 14

Abstract

Off-pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (OPCAB) experienced a resurgence in the 1980s -2000s and developed steadily with improvement of the instrumentation and techniques. However questions about graft patency and long-term survival of OPCAB patients still exist. This review attempts to explore the current relevance of OPCAB.

Keywords: CABG, cardiac surgery, OPCAB, coronary artery disease, optimal medical therapy, myocardial revascularization.
