Insights
For diabetic patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), off-pump surgery showed a lower five-year mortality rate and reduced risks of stroke and atrial fibrillation compared to on-pump procedures.
Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular Surgery
- Diabetic Patient Management
- Surgical Outcomes Research
Background:
- Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in diabetic patients presents a choice between off-pump and on-pump techniques.
- The optimal surgical approach remains a subject of ongoing clinical debate.
Purpose of the Study:
- To compare the mid-term and long-term clinical outcomes of off-pump versus on-pump CABG in diabetic patients.
- To evaluate the impact of surgical approach on survival rates and postoperative complications.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective analysis of 1269 diabetic patients undergoing primary isolated CABG (2013-2015).
- Comparison of hospitalization outcomes using logistic regression.
- Survival analysis using Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox proportional-hazard models.
- Propensity-score matching (PSM) for robust comparison between off-pump (614 patients) and on-pump (655 patients) groups.
Main Results:
- Five-year all-cause mortality was significantly lower in the off-pump group (4.23%) compared to the on-pump group (5.95%, p=0.044).
- Off-pump CABG was associated with a reduced incidence of postoperative stroke and atrial fibrillation.
Conclusions:
- Off-pump CABG procedures demonstrate potential advantages for diabetic patients undergoing this surgery.
- The findings suggest that an off-pump approach may be a preferable strategy for improving survival and reducing complications in this patient population.
Background:
For diabetic patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), there is still a debate about whether an off-pump or on-pump approach is advantageous.
Methods:
A retrospective review of 1269 consecutive diabetic patients undergoing isolated, primary CABG surgery from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2015 was conducted. Among them, 614 received non-cardiopulmonary bypass treatment during their operation (off-pump group), and 655 received cardiopulmonary bypass treatment (on-pump group). The hospitalization outcomes were compared by multiple logistic regression models with patient characteristics and operative variables as independent variables. Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox proportional-hazard regression models for mid-term (2-year) and long-term (5-year) clinical survival analyses were used to determine the effect on survival after CABG surgery. In order to further verify the reliability of the results, propensity-score matching (PSM) was also performed between the two groups.
Results:
Five-year all-cause death rates were 4.23% off-pump vs. 5.95% on-pump (p = 0.044), and off-pump was associated with reduced postoperative stroke and atrial fibrillation.
Conclusions:
These findings suggest that off-pump procedures may have benefits for diabetic patients in CABG.
