Abstract

Introduction: A large number of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) encounter surgical cardiopulmonary bypass [on-pump coronary artery bypass (ONCAB) or off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB)]. Since two techniques have been commenced, the doubt of which one is more convincing and efficacious has always been discussed and is still controversial.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the early patency and survival rate of coronary grafts after CABG in On-Pump vs Off-pump groups.

Material and methods: This retrospective cross sectional study was conducted in the Cardiac surgery department of Punjab Institute of Cardiology, Lahore in year 2020 using the data of previous surgeries done from 01-01-2009 to 01-03-2010 (14 months). Total 792 patients fulfilling inclusion criteria were included. The data consisted of two groups Group-A ONCAB (341) and Group B OPCAB (451), with total number of grafts (2333). Out of 792 patients only 315 were followed up the same year and in 2020, 135 were followed up for survival rate. The sampling technique used in this study was non probability sampling.

Results:  The mean age of the patients in Group A was 56.13 ±9.305 years and in Group B was 53.9 ± 9.382 years. In 315 followed up patients the number of grafts applied were 949. The mean number of grafts applied in Group A was 3.11±0.949 and in Group B was 2.95±0.959. There was no statistically significant difference seen between these groups. Out of 949 grafts 795 were patent from which 410 were applied in group A and 385 were applied in group B. 154 were blocked out of which 67 were applied in group A and 87 were applied in group B. After 10 years, only 135 were followed for survival rate, out of which 22.22% had angioplasty done, 51.85% reported events of shortness of breath, 13.33% had another attack of myocardial infarction, 30.37% had angiography done and mortality rate was 14.07%. There were 85.4% patients still alive in Group A and 86.8% in Group B. The overall survival rate is 85.9%.

Conclusion: In overall comparison there is no significant difference in patency and occlusion rate. However, the survival rate is 85.9%. So we can say both groups are equally safe and no procedure is preferred over another, entailing an identical caliber of anastomosis.
