On-Pump vs. Off-Pump CABG in High-Risk Patients (EuroSCORE 6+) (PRAGUE 6+)

January 22, 2008 updated by: Charles University, Czech Republic

Aortocoronary Bypasses in High-Risk Patients (EuroSCORE 6+) With or Without Use of the Cardio-Pulmonary Bypass.

Previous studies comparing on-pump and off-pump operating strategy did only partially demonstrate benefits of the off-pump myocardial revascularisation.In primary end-points (MI, death, renal failure, and so on) there was no significant difference, but in secondary end-points we observed benefits resulting for patients. We would like to show the benefit of the method without extracorporeal circulation in patients with higher and hight operation risk, coming from EuroSCORE classification system (6 points and more).
