Does Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery Improve Survival Among Patients With End-Stage Renal Disease?

Off-pump CABG improves early mortality rate when compared with conventional revascularization. Despite a greater operative mortality, however, long-term survival is improved in the patients revascularized with CPB as compared with the off-pump cohort, suggesting possible advantages from a more complete revascularization in this population.
