Popis: | BACKGROUND: The subset of patients that benefit most from off-pump CABG remains controversial. This study randomly compared off- with on-pump CABG in patients with poor EF. METHODS: Fifty-one patients were included in this study and randomized to undergo off- (n = 26) or on-pump (n = 25) CABG. Inclusion criteria were EF < 35% and multi-vessel disease. The primary end-points were the time to extubation, a composite end-point and mortality. RESULTS: EF, Euro-score, the number of grafts and inotropic support were similar between groups. In contrast time to extubation was 11.2 ± 3.8 hours in the off-pump versus 16.4 ± 2.7 hours in the on-pump group (p < 0.05). There were no hospital deaths in both groups. However, 2 off-pump (8%) compared to 5 on-pump (20%) patients presented a composite end-point. CONCLUSIONS: In this high-risk cohort off-pump CABG reduces time to extubation and in-hospital morbidity. |
