Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting [PDF]
Off-pump coronary artery bypass graft (OPCAB) constitutes a minority of surgical revascularization procedures performed world wide, but it remains an important tool in the surgical armamentarium. If surgeons can achieve a comparable quality of anastomosis and completeness of revascularization as an on-pump procedure, OPCAB has the potential to reduce ...

Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is the standard of care for revascularization of left main and three-vessel coronary artery disease. Conventional CABG utilizing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) often termed on-pump CABG is regarded as the gold standard.

Coronary Artery Spasm Following Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery
Coronary artery spasm after coronary artery bypass surgery may result in life-threatening arrhythmias, circulatory collapse, or death. We report two cases of coronary artery spasm after coronary artery bypass surgery, one of which developed ventricular fibrillation requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support.
