Costs Five Years After Off-Pump or On-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery

ConclusionsAt 5 years, the average costs of off-pump and on-pump CABG patients did not statistically differ. Costs do not favor one approach and the decision should be based on clinical risks, especially in subgroups. Future research is warranted to examine post-CABG costs and outcomes for diabetic patients over time.
