Off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery lacks a longitudinal survival advantage in patients with left ventricular dysfunction.

In contemporary patients with reduced LVEF, survival after OPCAB was similar at 1 year but lower at 5-year follow-up compared with ONCAB, despite similar rates of complete revascularization. These findings suggest that there may be other factors influencing longitudinal mortality in the low LVEF cohort, beyond the use of cardiopulmonary bypass.
