ABSTRACT
Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting [CABG] with cardiopulmonary bypass [CPB] on one hand allows controlled haemodynamics with superior graft quality while on the other hand carries inherent risks of CPB which has renewed interest in Off-pump coronary artery bypass [OPCAB]. Haemodynamic instability and intraoperative dysrythmias are major procedural complications of OPCAB, threatening conversion to emergency on-pump surgery. The purpose of this study was to compare intraoperative dysrythmias and inotropic use for haemodynamic stabilization during OPCAB surgery against conventional CABG. Consecutive CABG cases operated between 1[st] June 2003 and 31[st] May 2006 were included while conversions were excluded. Primary end points were analyzed using chi square and t test and values described in percentages, means and probability [p value]. Six hundred and eighty-four cases were divided in group-A [on-pump, n=574] and B [OPCAB, n=97]. Conversion rate was 11.8%. Intraoperative dysrythmias [A, 3.5%, B, 15%, p<0.0001] and use of inotropic support was higher in group-B [A, 15.3%, B, 30.3%, p<0.0001]. Actual mortality in group-B was higher than the predictive value [A, 3.8%, B, 3.6%, Predictive value 3-5% and 0-3% respectively]. OPCAB leads to higher frequency of dysrythmias and inotropic use intraoperatively, highlighting lower procedural safety over conventional CABG
