May warrant caution with off-pump CABG for long-term survival; leaves open the role of complete revascularization in randomized trials.
Does off-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery reduce morbidity and mortality compared to on-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery?
Off-pump CABG may be associated with reduced long-term survival compared to on-pump CABG, potentially due to incomplete revascularization and poor graft patency.
Rodrigues et al. (2013) studied this question.
