Objective: To assess the hospital results in coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) with or without
cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
Methods: This study was performed in Shahid Madani Hospital in Tabriz, Iran during the year 2003-
2006. The patients who had CABGs with or without CPB were studied. The data was collected by
a questionnaire and was analyzed by the t-test and chi-square program.
Results: In this study 416 patients had CABG without CPB (group I) and 578 with CPB (group II).
Number of grafts in group I were 2.12±0.73 and 2.92±0.82 in group II. The rate of complications
in 2 groups was not significant. EF is improved in group I, and use of Inotrops and IABP was less
than in group II. In group I hospitalization (ICU, hospital) was less than in comparison with group
I.
Conclusion: CABG without CPB was a safe method in our series. (Rawal Med J 2007;32:139-141).
