Results of off‐pump coronary artery bypass grafting with off‐pump first strategy in octogenarian [PDF]
Background and aim: Ischemic heart disease is the leading cause of death around the world. Coronary artery bypass grafting offers efficient surgical revascularization for ischemic disease. Both on- or off-pump coronary artery bypass methods provide promising results to octogenarians, once complete vascularization is achieved.

Off‐pump coronary artery surgery [PDF]
Summary Cardiopulmonary bypass has several associated deleterious effects that include a systemic inflammatory response, coagulopathy, central nervous system complications and a variable degree of end‐organ damage. The recent upsurge in interest in ‘beating‐heart’ surgery attempts to avoid these deleterious effects. Advances in surgical technique, such

Off-Pump Pulmonary Embolectomy
Pulmonary embolism is a common clinical condition associated with high mortality. Surgical pulmonary embolectomy (SPE), despite having been in existence for over 100 years, is generally regarded as an option of last resort with high mortality rates.

Initial experience with off-pump left ventricular assist device implantation in single center: retrospective analysis [PDF]
Background We hypothesize that implantation of left ventricular assist device through off-pump technique is feasible and has a comparable result to implantation on cardiopulmonary bypass and could improve one-year survival.

Off-pump transapical mitral valve replacement☆ [PDF]
Percutaneous valve replacement was recently introduced, and reports of early clinical experience have already been published. To date, this technique is limited to the replacement of pulmonary and aortic valves in a strictly selected group of patients. The aim of this study was to analyse a self-expanding valved stent for minimally invasive replacement

Surgical revascularization on the beating heart in patients with low ejection fraction [PDF]
Introduction. The subset of patients most likely to benefit from off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG) remains a controversial issue, but the technique has been proposed to decrease postoperative mortality and morbidity.
