Key result
Off-pump CABG was associated with a significantly lower incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation compared to on-pump CABG (9.9% vs 16.7%; P=0.002).
Why the study?
Does off-pump CABG reduce the incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation compared to on-pump CABG in patients with coronary artery disease?
Population
939 consecutive coronary artery disease patients with sinus rhythm, mean age 56.0±12.8 years, 24.9% older…
Comparison
Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) vs On-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)
Design
Cohort
Follow-up
during intensive care unit (ICU) stay

May favor off-pump CABG to lower postoperative AF; leaves open need for randomized confirmation.
Cohort (n=939)
Does off-pump CABG reduce the incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation compared to on-pump CABG in patients with coronary artery disease?
Absolute Event Rate: 9.9% vs 16.7%
p-value: p=0.002
Off-pump CABG is associated with a significantly lower incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation and a higher probability of conversion to sinus rhythm compared to on-pump CABG.
Hashemzadeh et al. (2013) conducted a cohort in Coronary artery disease (n=939). Off-pump CABG vs. On-pump CABG was evaluated on Incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) (p=0.002). Off-pump CABG was associated with a significantly lower incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation compared to on-pump CABG (9.9% vs 16.7%; P=0.002).
