Abstract:
Off-pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (OPCAB) is the latest innovation in cardiac surgery. However OPCAB is not adopted universally. Even there have been suggestions of abandoning OPCAB in a special report. In India, OPCAB has been successfully adopted across the board. There are various evidences which favor OPCAB and are discussed in this review. The purpose of this review is to put forward the perspective of the OPCAB surgeons of our country and critically look at the suggestion of abandoning OPCAB.
