Stroke and mortality rates after off-pump vs pump-assisted/no-clamp coronary artery bypass grafting
CONCLUSIONS: A hybrid strategy incorporating off-pump, pump-assisted, and combined offpump/pump-assisted techniques achieved very low stroke rates in patients undergoing coronary revascularization. Perioperative mortality was similar for all three techniques. Avoiding aortic clamping may be crucial for decreasing CABG-related stroke rates. Off-pump/no-bypass surgery had no significant advantage over the pump-assisted/no-clamp or combined techniques in reducing the stroke rate after coronary artery bypass grafting surgery.PMID:36168952 | DOI:10.23736/S0021-9509.22.12337-2
