Poor outcomes after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) have been linked to perioperative endothelial activation and systemic inflammatory responses. The use of pulsatile cardiopulmonary bypass (PCPB) or off-pump CABG (OPCABG) may minimise these phenomena. We compared biochemical and clinical outcomes among patients who underwent CABG with PCPB, CABG with linear CPB (LCPB) or OPCABG.
