TI  - Intracoronary shunt in off-pump coronary artery bypass graft.
PG  - 40-5
AB  - This study was performed to compare the early postoperative results of off Pump 
      Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (OPCABG) with or without using Intra Coronary Shunt 
      (ICS). We randomized 208 patients scheduled for OPCABG into shunt group (group 1, 
      n = 104) and no-shunt group (group 2, n = 104). The two groups were well matched 
      according to the age, gender, angina class, New York Heart Association (NYHA) 
      functional class, or operative priority and disease severity. Peri- and 
      post-operative changes in electrocardiography, wall motion abnormality in 
      echocardiography, rate of myocardial infarction, mortality, morbidity, cardiac 
      enzymes and ICU stay were recorded. There was no significant difference between 
      two groups in changes of electrocardiography, myocardial infarction, left 
      ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), in hospital mortality and ICU stay but 
      Creatine Kinase Myocardial Band (CK-MB) enzyme was higher in no shunt group, 
      while troponin-I was increased in shunt group. Preoperative LVEF was higher in 
      no-shunt group, but postoperative LVEF was higher in shunt group (p > 0.05). 
      Also, the change of LVEF before and after operation in each group was not 
      significant. Using intracoronary shunt in off pump coronary artery bypass graft 
      leads to less change in cardiac enzymes but had no effect on perioperative and 
      postoperative myocardial infarction, LVEF, mortality and morbidity.
