Supports preferring on-pump CABG to reduce repeat revascularization; confirms higher long-term reintervention rates versus off-pump in pooled trials.
Does off-pump CABG increase repeat revascularization rates compared to on-pump CABG in patients undergoing CABG?
Off-pump CABG is associated with a 38% increased risk of repeat revascularization at 1 year or more compared to on-pump CABG.
