title: [Off-pump coronary artery bypass: analysis of 1080 patients].
abstract: A consecutive cohort including 1080 patients undergoing "off-pump" myocardial revascularization was reviewed. An average of 2.22 bypass/patients was performed. The death-rate during the first 30 days after surgery was 0.65%. Four cases needed cross-over to on-pump. The postoperative events were: need of inotropic drugs (2.7%), atrial fibrillation (12.4%), myocardial infarction (6.6%). The extubation was performed before the first postoperative 24 h in 91.9% of cases. The majority of patients was discharged from hospital before 8 days after surgery. Off pump coronary artery bypass surgery exhibit good results for most of the patients even if they present multiple vessel disease and high operating risk.
