Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the early results of coronary artery bypass without cardiopulmonary bypass (off-pump coronary artery bypass - OPCAB) at Siriraj Hospital.
Patients and methods :
     From September, 2001 to April 2002, eight selected coronary artery disease patients were operated on using the off-pump coronary artery bypass technique. Operative data were collected and postoperative coronary angiography was studied in all patients before discharge.
Results :
     There were no death and no need to resort to the conventional procedure. Postoperative coronary angiography revealed good patency of all 17 grafts. Postoperative cardiac enzymes were elevated in one patient.
Conclusion :
     The early of OPCAB in this study showed good outcomes. Early postoperative angiography demonstrated excellent anastormoses. This procedure needed fewer blood transfusions than the conventional technique. However, long-term follow up of these procedures should be evaluated.
