Does off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery reduce postoperative atrial fibrillation and hard clinical outcomes compared with on-pump surgery in patients undergoing CABG?
Off-pump CABG reduces postoperative atrial fibrillation compared to on-pump CABG, but its impact on hard clinical outcomes remains uncertain.
Off-pump surgery reduces the risks of postoperative atrial fibrillation compared with on-pump surgery. For death, myocardial infarction, stroke, and renewed coronary revascularization, the evidence is still weak and more low-bias risk trials are needed.
