OPCAB was not associated with reduced perioperative renal dysfunction; should not yet change practice and leaves open RCT confirmation.
Does off-pump coronary bypass reduce perioperative change in creatinine clearance in primary elective coronary bypass patients compared to on-pump CABG?
Off-pump coronary bypass surgery does not significantly reduce perioperative renal dysfunction compared to on-pump CABG, suggesting renal risk reduction alone is not an indication for OPCAB.
