May warrant short-term mortality consideration with OPCAB in octogenarians but should not yet change practice; leaves open confirmation of long-term equivalence in RCTs.
Does off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting reduce mortality compared to on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting in octogenarian patients?
Off-pump CABG in octogenarians may reduce in-hospital mortality compared to on-pump CABG, though long-term survival remains similar.
Sarin et al. (2011) studied this question.
