Abstract

Off pump coronary surgery is a major reengineering effort of the surgical systems. There are no perfect tools available to guide every centre in the confrontation with the complete spectrum of risk and the limited number of events. This study analyses the use of a hospital mortality risk-stratifying system in the complete shift towards off-pump CABG.
