Insights

Long-term outcomes after total arterial coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) were similar for on-pump (ONCAB) and off-pump (OPCAB) procedures. Renal failure requiring dialysis emerged as a key risk factor for mortality and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs).

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Cardiac Surgery Outcomes Research
  • Vascular Grafting

Background:

  • Limited data exists on long-term outcomes (>10 years) and risk factors for total arterial coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
  • Understanding differences between on-pump CABG (ONCAB) and off-pump CABG (OPCAB) is crucial for patient management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate long-term outcomes and identify risk factors for mortality and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs).
  • To compare outcomes between total arterial ONCAB and OPCAB with complete revascularization.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective cohort analysis of 401 patients undergoing primary total arterial CABG (July 2000 - June 2019).
  • Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to compare outcomes between matched OPCAB (n=88) and ONCAB (n=88) groups.
  • Univariate and multivariate analyses identified risk factors for mortality and MACCEs.

Main Results:

  • No significant differences in all-cause mortality (HR 1.04) or MACCE incidence (HR 1.06) were observed between OPCAB and ONCAB groups after PSM.
  • The mean follow-up period was 7.9 ± 6.3 years.
  • Renal failure requiring dialysis was a significant risk factor for both mortality (p<0.0001) and MACCEs (p=0.0003).

Conclusions:

  • Total arterial OPCAB and ONCAB with complete revascularization demonstrate similar long-term outcomes.
  • Renal failure requiring dialysis is a critical independent risk factor for adverse outcomes following total arterial CABG.
