Key result
Beating-heart CABG avoids cardiopulmonary bypass morbidity but presents technical challenges requiring further long-term patency data.
Off-pump CABG is a viable alternative to conventional CABG that may reduce morbidity by avoiding the systemic inflammatory and neurocognitive complications of cardiopulmonary bypass.
May support selective off-pump CABG to limit bypass morbidity; leaves open long-term patency questions for prospective trials.

Carol Chen‐Scarabelli (2002) conducted a review in Coronary artery disease. Beating-heart (off-pump) CABG surgery vs. Conventional CABG surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass was evaluated. Beating-heart CABG surgery is a practical revascularization option that avoids cardiopulmonary bypass and its associated morbidity, though it presents technical challenges and requires further long-term patency data.
