Key result
Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting did not significantly reduce the incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation compared to on-pump grafting (13.43% vs 19.79%; P=0.1955).
Why the study?
Does off-pump CABG reduce the incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation compared to on-pump CABG in patients undergoing surgical revascularization?
Population
230 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), 24.3% female.
Comparison
Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting vs On-pump coronary artery bypass grafting
Design
Cohort
Follow-up
postoperative period

Does not support preferring off-pump CABG to reduce postoperative AF; hypothesis-generating and warrants randomized evaluation.

Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting does not significantly reduce the incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation compared to on-pump CABG.
Júnior et al. (2015) conducted a cohort in Coronary artery disease requiring bypass grafting (n=230). Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting vs. On-pump coronary artery bypass grafting was evaluated on Postoperative atrial fibrillation (p=0.1955). Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting did not significantly reduce the incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation compared to on-pump grafting (13.43% vs 19.79%; P=0.1955).
