“…As investigators continue to elucidate the appropriate role for OPCAB surgery, some authors have shown that higher-risk patients, including the elderly, stand to benefit most from avoiding the cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) circuit (4,(15)(16)(17). The elderly may be particularly at risk for higher morbidity after CPB due to decreased physiological reserves and greater incidences of comorbid illnesses, which may impair their response to the post-CPB inflammatory syndrome.…”

“…The consequent reluctance to operate on these 'old old' people has created a self-fulfilling prophecy wherein these older patients are referred for surgery only when their disease is highly advanced, thereby increasing morbidity and mortality rates (2). Nevertheless, surgical outcomes in this age group have been encouraging (3)(4)(5)(6)(7).…”

“…No se ha demostrado un beneficio en la mortalidad en pacientes de bajo riesgo, pero existirían beneficios del uso de esta técnica en algunos grupos, tales como aquellos con alto riesgo de ac-cidentes neurológicos, portadores de enfermedad ateroesclerótica severa de la aorta, insuficiencia renal, enfermedad pulmonar crónica, edad avanzada y enfermedad vascular periférica 8,[18][19][20][21] .…”

“…The presence of left ventricular dysfunction and cardiac failure in the postoperative period of CABG has been considered one of most important independent predictive factors of surgical mortality [2][3][4][5] , with an association between the severity of the left ventricular dysfunction and risk of complications (4% to 10% for moderate to severe ventricular dysfunction) 3 .…”
