Early and midterm outcomes after off pump coronary artery bypass surgery
ConclusionOPCAB can safely be performed with satisfactory short and mid-term outcomes. Further corroborative studies from different regions of the country or a multi-center study will help to establish the suitability of the technique in Indian patients.

Incidence, predictors, and outcome for post-operative atrial fibrillation in Indian patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting —a prospective observational study
ConclusionsIn our study, the incidence of POAF was much lower (7.94%) than that reported previously. POAF significantly increased adverse outcomes and length of hospital stay. Both EuroSCORE II and STS scores had similar discriminating power in predicting POAF.

Patients who develop post-operative atrial fibrillation have reduced survival after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting
ConclusionThe incidence of POAF was lower than reported in the wider global literature. Increasing age and development of post-operative sepsis were strong independent predictors of POAF. POAF increases the morbidity; length of hospital stay and these patients show decreased survival after off-pump CABG.

Early outcomes in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting
ConclusionEarly outcome of off-pump CABG was excellent in this study. Increased incidence of deep sternal wound infection remains a concern. Multicenter study with a larger sample size is required for a dependable evaluation of the efficacy of off-pump CABG in Indian population.

Robot-assisted totally endoscopic coronary bypass surgery
AbstractTotally endoscopic coronary artery bypass (TECAB) surgery can exclusively be undertaken with the aid of operative robots. In the past two decades, surgical remote manipulator systems —predominantly the daVinci® devices—have brought us the reality of endoscopic internal mammary artery harvesting and coronary bypass anastomoses via minimally invasive thoracic port access. Single up to quadruple TECAB interventions are recently feasible; the procedure can be delivered either a s beating heart applying endoscopic vacuum stabilizer or under cardioplegic arrest on heart-lung machine. Significant surgical team learni...
