Outcome of Coronary Artery Bypass Graft with On-pump Beating-heart Technique

Background: This paper intends to evaluate the effects of on-pump beating-heart coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) in patients with coronary artery disease. Studies have shown that this surgical procedure can have acceptable results. Objectives: This study intends to share experiences and results of on-pump beating-heart CABG. Methods: We reported preliminary results related to mortality and morbidity in patients who underwent CABG in the period from ۲۰۱۵ to ۲۰۱۷ in Ghaem hospital, Mashhad, Iran. Results: ۸۰ patients, in the period from ۲۰۱۵to ۲۰۱۷, underwent general anesthesia and on-pump beating-heart CABG surgery was done for them. The average number of grafts was ۳.۱۸± ۰.۴۷۴ and two patients died, unfortunately: one during surgery and one in ICU. There were no postoperative myocardial infarctions during the study. None of the patients reported kidney dysfunction. The average length of hospitalization was ۴±۱.۱۱ days and the mean follow-up of the patients was ۶ months. The average ejection fraction (EF) of patients was ۴۳. ۲۸± ۹.۵۸. Conclusion: In the last decade there has been a big challenge between using off-pump CABG and on-pump CABG, on-pump beating method could present acceptable and effective results.
