Abstract
Off-pump CABG was associated with less morbidity, shorter length of stay, and similar mortality compared with on-pump procedures, suggesting that it can be a safe and effective alternative to standard on-pump CABG. However, the limited use of off-pump CABG in this multicenter analysis may restrict the generalizability of these results, and realistically defines the limited degree of acceptance of this technique in a real-world environment.
