Key result
Off-pump CABG did not significantly differ from on-pump CABG in the occurrence of post-operative new-onset atrial fibrillation (22% vs 26%).
Why the study?
Does off-pump CABG reduce the occurrence of post-operative new-onset atrial fibrillation compared to on-pump CABG?
Cohort (n=267)
Does off-pump CABG reduce the occurrence of post-operative new-onset atrial fibrillation compared to on-pump CABG?
Absolute Event Rate: 22% vs 26%
p-value: p=not statistically significant
The occurrence of post-operative atrial fibrillation after CABG does not depend on whether the operation is performed off-pump or on-pump.

Similar post-op AF rates with off- versus on-pump CABG; leaves open whether randomized trials would detect a difference.
Türk et al. (2007) conducted a cohort in Coronary artery disease undergoing CABG (n=267). Off-pump CABG vs. On-pump CABG was evaluated on Post-operative new-onset atrial fibrillation (p=not statistically significant). Off-pump CABG did not significantly differ from on-pump CABG in the occurrence of post-operative new-onset atrial fibrillation (22% vs 26%).
