In this large retrospective review of the New York State database, in patients with two or more diseased coronary arteries, CABG is associated with higher adjusted rates of long-term survival than PCI.

Circulation 2004; 109:887-892. In this prospective randomized series, similar results for mortality, morbidity, and completeness of revascularization were obtained; however, endpoints such as length of stay, transfusion rate, time on the ventilator, and myocardial injury were in favor of OPCABG.

In regard to pulmonary outcomes, this prospective series concludes that oxygen exchange is better after OPCABG; however, increased fluid requirements during OPCABG lead to a postoperative fluid overload in this population.

This randomized prospective study is the first with systematic angiographic follow-up, and the data are interesting; however, cautious analysis and interpretation of findings are warranted.

In this review of the New York State database, the results of the last 2 years of the study confirm that the learning curve associated with OPCABG plays a crucial role in clinical outcomes, allowing surgeons to obtain similar results with either procedure.

Circulation 2005; 111:2858-2864. This American Heart Association scientific statement highlights the current status of the literature on OPCABG vs. CABG. The authors conclude it is essential that large-scale prospective trials be conducted to obtain relevant data and make sound scientific statements on benefit and risk of either procedure.
