Splanchnic Organ Injury During Coronary Surgery With or Without Cardiopulmonary Bypass: A Randomized, Controlled Trial

Early small intestine function is worse with OPCAB; all functions recover to similar levels in both groups by day 5. Conversely, pancreatic function is worse with the CABG-CPB group than with the OPCAB group. Hepatic metabolic function does not differ by type of surgery to the end of the operation. Postoperative hepatocellular injury was worse with the CABG-CPB group.
