Key result
Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) appears to reduce postoperative subsystem organ dysfunction when compared with conventional coronary revascularisation.

OPCAB should not yet change CABG practice; leaves open need for RCTs to confirm organ protection.
Does off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) reduce postoperative subsystem organ dysfunction in patients undergoing coronary surgery compared to conventional CABG?
OPCAB may offer a more physiological method to maintain major organ system function and reduce postoperative dysfunction compared to conventional CABG.
Ascione et al. (2002) conducted a review in Coronary artery bypass grafting. Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) vs. Conventional coronary revascularisation was evaluated on Postoperative subsystem organ dysfunction. Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) appears to reduce postoperative subsystem organ dysfunction when compared with conventional coronary revascularisation.
