The premise of coronary revascularization without cardiopulmonary bypass (off-pump CABG) proposes that patient morbidity and, potentially, mortality can be reduced without compromising the excellent results of conventional revascularization techniques (on-pump CABG). It is unknown, however, whether coronary artery bypass without cardiopulmonary bypass (off-pump CABG) is associated with similar hemorrhage related reexploration rates and blood transfusion requirements compared to the on-pump approach.
