Using decision-analysis and meta-analysis to predict coronary artery bypass surgical outcomes – a model for comparing off-pump surgery to miniaturized cardiopulmonary bypass circuits

Coronary artery bypass (CABG) surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) has been the “gold standard” for many years. However, methods to conduct off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) surgery with a beating heart have decreased the use of CPB. Improvements in cardiopulmonary bypass technology, usin...
