Key result
Off-pump, clampless, and minimally invasive techniques may optimize short- and long-term CABG outcomes.
Why the study?
With randomized trials showing converging outcomes between PCI and CABG, optimizing short- and long-term CABG outcomes and reducing surgical invasiveness have become increasingly important.
This review highlights evolving surgical techniques and strategies that have the potential to optimize short- and long-term outcomes after coronary artery bypass grafting.

Converging PCI-CABG outcomes support individualized revascularization in select patients; extends prior RCT evidence to contemporary practice.
Head et al. (2013) conducted a review in Coronary artery disease. Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) optimization techniques was evaluated. Evolving surgical strategies, including off-pump, clampless, and minimally invasive techniques, have the potential to optimize short- and long-term outcomes after coronary artery bypass grafting.
