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 2015 to 2017 in ghaem hospital, mashhad, iran. results: 80 patients, in the period from 2015to 2017, underwent general anesthesia and on-pump beating-heart cabg surgery was done for them. the average number of grafts was 3.18± 0.474 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 4±1.11 days and the mean follow-up of the patients was 6 months. the average ejection fraction (ef) of patients was 43. 28± 9.58. 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.
