The relative benefits and risks of performing coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG) with a beating-heart technique (off-pump CABG), as compared with cardiopulmonary bypass (on-pump CABG), are not ...

Two large trials presented at the American College of Cardiology meeting in San Francisco and published simultaneously in the New England Journal of Medicine provide important new information about ...

The performance of coronary bypass surgery without cardiopulmonary bypass (“off pump”) may reduce perioperative morbidity and costs, but it is uncertain whether the outcome is similar to that ...

Bypass surgery done without a heart-lung machine, known as off-pump, may provide better post-operative outcomes than on-pump bypass surgery for high-risk patients, according to new research. Bypass ...

The older method of doing open-heart surgery, in which the heart is stopped and a pump circulates blood through the body, leads to higher survival rates than a newer method of operating while the ...

Perioperative morbidity and mortality are slightly reduced with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) performed off-pump (OPCAB) by experienced surgeons, according to a study presented at the annual ...

Remarkable technological advances have enabled coronary artery bypass (CAB) surgery to be performed without the use of cardiopulmonary bypass, by a technique called 'beating heart' or 'off-pump' CAB.

Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting is associated with a significantly higher rate of all-cause mortality than surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass in patients with left main disease, according to ...

What determines whether a patient will have “on-pump” or “off-pump” coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG)? —Elissa Internicola Lebow, PA-C, Staten Island, N.Y. Patients may achieve an excellent ...
