Abstract
In our experience, trainee surgeons are less likely to operate on patients with unstable angina or cardiac dysfunction. Operative morbidity and mortality are, however, similar in patients operated on by either an experienced consultant surgeon or trainees. We believe OPCABG can be taught safely to trainees under supervision.
