The Role of the Perfusionist in Blood Conservation (EP Video)

The use of coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) or without CPB technique (off-pump) can be associated with different mortality and morbidity and their outcomes remain uncertain. The goal of this study was to evaluate the early outcome of on-pump versus off-pump CABG.

The aim of this study was to investigate outcomes of older (age > or =80 years) cardiac surgery patients managed with multicomponent intervention.
