Comparative Study[Comparison of perioperative myocardial injury between off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting and conventional coronary artery bypass grafting].
To compare the perioperative release levels of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) between off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) or conventional coronary artery bypass grafting (CCABG) in an attempt to detect myocardial injury. ⋯ Compared with CCABG, OPCAB may achieve similar outcomes; it reduces transfusion volume and creates less myocardial injury.
