title: [On-pump versus off-pump coronary revascularization: early postoperative outcomes].
abstract: Postoperative results of CABG operations, performed with CPB or on beating heart (OPCAB) has been summarized. 200 cases have been reviewed. The patients were divided into two groups, depending on the type of the procedure. Results showed, that in the group of patients operated on beating heart there were no such complications as mortality, reexploration, neurological disorders. The percentage of complications like heart failure, intraoperative MI, postoperative arrhythmias, length of stay in ICU were considerably less comparing to the patients operated with CPB. Also cost-effectiveness of beating heart procedure vs traditional CABG has been documented.
