ABSTRACT
@#Objective To compare the in-hospital and midterm outcomes after simultaneous hybrid coronary revascularization (HCR) with off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) in diabetic patients with multivessel coronary artery disease. Methods One hundred thirty-two diabetic patients with multivessel coronary artery disease underwent one-stop HCR at Fuwai Hospital from January 2010 to January 2015. These patients were 1∶2 matched with those who underwent OPCAB using propensity score matching. Results Simultaneous HCR had less chest tube drainage (618 (420, 811) ml vs. 969 (711, 1 213)ml, P<0.001), lower transfusion rate (19.7% vs. 34.1%, P=0.026), shorter mechanical ventilation time (11.6 (8.2, 14.8) h vs. 16.0 (12.1, 18.7) h, P<0.001), and shorter stay in intensive care unit (21.5 (18.8, 42.0) h vs. 44.6 (23.7, 70.1) h, P<0.001) than OPCAB. During over median 40 months follow-up, simultaneous HCR offered similar major adverse cardiac or cerebrovascular events (MACCE) rate (6.8% vs 9.0%, P=0.826), but lower stroke rate (0%vs 3.0%, P=0.029), compared with OPCAB. Conclusion For selected patients with diabetes, simultaneous HCR provides a safe and effective revascularization alternative. It decreases perioperative invasiveness and incurred similar and favorable midterm outcomes with OPCAB.
