Abstract
Our systematic review and meta-analysis of propensity score analyses finds off-pump surgery superior to on-pump surgery in all of the assessed short-term outcomes. This advantage was statistically significant and clinically relevant for most outcomes, especially for mortality, the most valid criterion. These results agree with previous systematic reviews of randomized and nonrandomized trials.
