One year results of on pump and off pump CABG similar

One year results of on pump and off pump CABG: A large randomized clinical trial involving over four thousand seven hundred patients from seventy nine centers across nineteen countries has been published in NEJM [1]. One year after coronary artery bypass grafting, there was no significant difference between on pump and off pump bypass surgery in the rate of repeat revascularization, quality of life or neurocognitive function. The authors had reported earlier that at 30 days, there was no significant difference in the composite outcome of myocardial infarction, death, stroke and new onset renal failure requiring dialysis support [2].
