Abstract: OPCAB may be associated with lower incidence of death, stroke and AF in the elderly, which may result in shorter length of hospital stay. A large randomised trial would confirm whether the elderly would benefit more from OPCAB surgery.

“…This finding was supported by the results of Puskas 20) who reported that OPCAB was associated with a lower risk for operative mortality in highrisk patients, and that the mortality benefit increased with increasing predicted risk of mortality. Furthermore, OPCAB has been shown to be beneficial in high-risk patients with advanced age, 21,22) severe atheromatous aortic disease, 23,24) chronic kidney disease, 25) and left ventricular dysfunction. 26) We believe that all CABG should be performed by off-pump technique.…”

“…Additionally, a smaller fraction of OPCAB patients require inotropic or intra-aortic balloon pump support when compared to their propensity-matched CABG counterparts. A marked decrease in the need for transfusion of blood, platelets and fresh frozen plasma has also been noted (21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34).…”

“…Many reports have been published to show the superiority of OPCAB against on-pump CABG concerning the requirement of blood transfusion, incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation, incidence of stroke, length of stay at the intensive care unit (ICU) and hospital, in-hospital mortality, and so on. [6][7][8][9][10][11] However, many recent reports including the analysis of randomized control studies have evoked the controversial arguments against the superiority of OPCAB including mortality and morbidity such as incidence of stroke, perioperative myocardial infarction and renal failure. [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] In addition, less complete revascularization rate 12,13) and poor graft patency in OPCAB 16,18) are suspected the main cause of high incidence of repeat revascularization compared with conventional CABG.…”
