Abstract
Our study confirms that coronary artery bypass grafting surgery may be performed safely in a poor country in a hospital without experience with cardiac surgery. Selection of talented staff and cooperation with international cardiac centers are crucial. Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting surgery is suitable for a new center and does not require more training than standard procedures.
