On-pump beating heart versus conventional coronary artery bypass grafting: comparative study on early and long-term clinical outcomes.

A prospective randomized trial is warranted to better ascertain the beneficial impact of OPB-CABG as both a viable and a durable alternative strategy to C-CABG. PMID: 29997927 [PubMed]
