Multicenter Study Observational StudyRisk Stratification in Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass (OPCAB) Surgery-Role of EuroSCORE II.
To evaluate the EuroSCORE II for risk stratification in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) surgery. ⋯ The EuroSCORE II has satisfactory calibration and discrimination power to predict mortality after OPCAB surgery.
