Excellent Results of Contemporary Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting With Systematic Application of Modern Perioperative Strategies

Despite a worsening case mix, contemporary CABG can be performed with excellent results (operative mortality < 1%). Off-pump CABG performed in very high-risk patients obtains results similar to those of the general CABG population. Diabetes and ejection fraction were not independent predictors of early outcome. In our experience, these excellent outcomes were achieved by adopting an operative approach using modern perioperative management (epi-aortic scanning, intensive insulin therapy) and surgical techniques (off-pump CABG) based on individual patients.
