Key result
Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting showed no overall advantage over on-pump CABG for early postoperative outcomes, with a mean hospital stay of 8 days for all 40 patients.

Mohamed et al. (2018) studied Coronary artery disease requiring CABG (n=40). Off-pump CABG vs. On-pump CABG was evaluated on Early postoperative outcomes (bleeding, cardiac support, arrhythmias, renal function, and hospital stay). Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting showed no overall advantage over on-pump CABG for early postoperative outcomes, with a mean hospital stay of 8 days for all 40 patients.
