Abstract
IMPORTANCE
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) remains the gold standard for the treatment of multivessel and left main coronary heart disease. However, the current evidence about the optimal surgical revascularization strategy is inconsistent and is not sufficient to allow for definite conclusions. Thus, this topic needs to be extensively discussed.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this present study was to compare the clinical outcomes of off-pump CABG (OPCAB), conventional on-pump CABG (C-CABG), and on-pump beating heart (ONBEAT) CABG via an updated systematic review and network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
DATA SOURCES
PubMed, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Central Registry were searched for relevant randomized controlled trials that were published in English before 1 December 2021.
STUDY SELECTION
Published trials that included patients who received OPCAB, C-CABG, and ONBEAT CABG were selected.
DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS
Two authors independently screened the search results, assessed the full texts to identify eligible studies and the risk of bias of the included studies, and extracted data. All processes followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Individual Participant Data.
MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES
The primary outcome was postoperative mortality in patients who underwent C-CABG, OPCAB, or ONBEAT CABG. The secondary outcomes were postoperative myocardial infarction, stroke, and renal impairment in the three groups. The time point for analysis of outcomes was all time periods during the postoperative follow-up.
RESULTS
A total of 39 385 patients (83 496.2 person-years) in 65 studies who fulfilled the prespecified criteria were included. In the network meta-analysis, OPCAB was associated with an increase of 12% in the risk of all-cause mortality when compared with C-CABG [odds ratio (OR): 1.12; 95% CI: 1.04-1.21], a reduction of 49% in the risk of myocardial infarction when compared with ONBEAT (OR: 0.51; 95% CI: 0.26-0.99), a reduction of 16% in the risk of stroke when compared with C-CABG (OR: 0.84; 95% CI: 0.72-0.99) and a similar risk of renal impairment when compared with C-CABG and ONBEAT.
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE
OPCAB was associated with higher all-cause mortality but lower postoperative stroke compared with C-CABG. OPCAB was associated with a lower postoperative myocardial infarction than that of ONBEAT. Early mortality was comparable among OPCAB, ONBEAT, and C-CABG.
