Abstract

Many previous studies have reported that women who undergo coronary artery bypass grafting have higher perioperative morbidity and mortality rates than men. The use of off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) has been suggested to decrease morbidity and mortality because the deleterious effects of cardiopulmonary bypass, particularly in high-risk patients, are avoided. The reduction in unwanted postoperative complications in women undergoing OPCAB surgery has not been extensively investigated. The aim of this retrospective study was to compare perioperative rates of morbidity and mortality and follow-up events after OPCAB in female patients assessed as high- or low-risk according to the European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation (EuroSCORE). The study included 377 adult female patients who underwent elective primary isolated OPCAB. The study patients were divided into 2 groups based on the Additive EuroSCORE: low-risk patients (group I, n = 301, EuroSCORE < 6) and high-risk patients (group II, n = 76, EuroSCORE > or = 6). Patient ages were 60.1 +/- 7.77 years in group I and 69.3 +/- 5.51 years in group II (P <.001). Compared to group I patients, group II patients had significantly higher Additive EuroSCORE (P...Continue Reading
