Key result
In women undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting, off-pump surgery significantly reduced 30-day mortality compared to conventional on-pump surgery (1.7% vs 5.2%, p=0.002).

Off-pump CABG was associated with lower 30-day mortality in women; leaves open confirmation in randomized trials and at 1 year.

Does off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting reduce 30-day and 1-year mortality compared to conventional on-pump CABG in women?
Absolute Event Rate: 1.7% vs 5.2%
p-value: p=0.002
Off-pump CABG significantly reduces early and mid-term mortality in women compared to conventional on-pump CABG, suggesting it may be the preferred revascularization technique for female patients.
Eifert et al. (2010) conducted a cohort in Coronary artery disease (n=3,441). Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) vs. Conventional coronary artery bypass grafting with extracorporeal circulation (ECC) was evaluated on 30-day mortality in women (p=0.002). In women undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting, off-pump surgery significantly reduced 30-day mortality compared to conventional on-pump surgery (1.7% vs 5.2%, p=0.002).
