Despite the ongoing debates regarding the superiority or inferiority of of-pump coronary artery bypass grafting, it still comprises 15–30% of all CABG cases varying in different national registries. We performed a propensity matched study of 302 consecutive CABG patients,143 of -pump cases performed by the four experienced of-pump surgeons and the on-pump CABG cases performed by those surgeons and four other experienced coronary surgeons. The fve year follow up was performed and data collected comprised of mortality, rehospitalization due to cardiac origin, repeated revascularization, myocardial infarction and cerebrovascular accident. Overall, the of-pump group of patients had a higher risk profle than the patients in the on-pump group. After matching, fewer diferences were found between the groups. Propensity score matching analysis showed no diference in long-term survival as well as MACCE and repeated revascularization. The higher risk profle of the patients subjected to OPCAB and the comparable survival to lower risk CPB patients in this series indicate that in experienced hands, OPCAB is a valuable option in this important subgroup of patients. info:eu-repo/semantics/article https://unilib.phaidrabg.rs/o:2953 doi:10.1038/s41598-019-45093-3 cobiss:126225417 ISSN: 2045-2322
