Off-pump coronary bypass grafting is safe and efficient in patients with left main disease and higher EuroScore [PDF]
Background: Summary Left main disease (LMD) and associated cardiac risk factors are often perceived as a limiting factor for the outcome of off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) grafting. In this study, we assess whether the outcome of OPCAB surgery is

Total arterial off-pump surgery provides excellent outcomes and does not compromise complete revascularization† [PDF]
OBJECTIVES The combination of aortic ‘no-touch' off-pump surgery (OPCAB) and total arterial revascularization (TAR) can reduce peri-procedural morbidity and yields excellent long-term outcomes albeit at a reported risk of incomplete revascularization ...

Coronary artery bypass grafting: Part 2—optimizing outcomes and future prospects [PDF]
Since first introduced in the mid-1960s, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has become the standard of care for patients with coronary artery disease. Surprisingly, the fundamental surgical technique itself did not change much over time. Nevertheless,

Systematic off-pump coronary artery bypass.
We assessed the feasibility of systematic off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) and identified risk factors for on-pump conversion.Between July 1, 2002 and December 31, 2003, OPCAB was attempted for all patients who required isolated coronary artery bypass in our institution.

Off-pump surgery for the poor ventricle? [PDF]
Severely decreased ejection-fraction is an established risk-factor for worse outcome after cardiac surgery. We compare outcomes of off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) and on-pump CABG (ONCABG) in patients with severely compromised EF.

Coronary artery bypass grafting: Part 1—the evolution over the first 50 years [PDF]
Surgical treatment for angina pectoris was first proposed in 1899. Decades of experimental surgery for coronary artery disease finally led to the introduction of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in 1964. Now that we are approaching 50 years of CABG
