Beating-heart on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting < em > vs. < /em > off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting: a systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: BH-ONCAB is a safe and comparable alternative to OPCAB in terms of early mortality and late survival. BH-ONCAB may confer particular advantages in preventing incomplete revascularization and allowing more distal anastomoses compared to OPCAB. However, BH-ONCAB was associated with more postoperative complications due to the use of CPB. Future work should focus on larger matched studies and multicenter randomized controlled trials to optimize our surgical revascularization strategies.PMID:34422347 | PMC:PMC8339796 | DOI:10.21037/jtd-21-268
