ABSTRACT
AIM:
To determine the in-hospital outcome of patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting.METHODS:
The study included 212 consecutive patients (147 men and 65 women) undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting between March 2000 and March 2002. Mean +/- SD age of the patients was 60 +/- 8 years. We analyzed in-hospital mortality and perioperative and postoperative course of treatment of our patients.RESULTS:
The mean +/- SD number of grafts was 2.9 +/- 0.9 per patient. More than 75% of patients were extubated within the first 6 h after surgery, and 6% received no blood transfusions. The mortality rate was 2.8% and there were no intraoperative deaths.CONCLUSION:
Off-pump coronary artery bypass procedure seems a safe alternative to standard on-pump revascularization procedures and can also be safely suggested to elderly population.
