A review of 1,582 consecutive Octopus off-pump coronary bypass patients

TLDR
Octopus off-pump bypass was demonstrated to be a safe procedure with widening applicability with experience surgeons tend to apply the system to increasing proportions of their patients and are able to revascularize all coronary territories.

Early Outcome After Off-Pump Versus On-Pump Coronary Bypass Surgery Results From a Randomized Study

TL;DR: This work has shown that the use of cardiopulmonary bypass during coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) has been associated with substantial morbidity and the recent introduction of cardiac stabilizers facilitates this association.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cognitive outcome after off-pump and on-pump Coronary artery bypass graft surgery a Randomized trial

TL;DR: Patients who received their first CABG surgery without cardiopulmonary bypass had improved cognitive outcomes 3 months after the procedure, but the effects were limited and became negligible at 12 months.
Journal ArticleDOI

A comparison of on-pump and off-pump coronary bypass surgery in low-risk patients.

TL;DR: In low-risk patients, there was no difference in cardiac outcome at one year between those who underwent on-pump bypass surgery and those who undergo off-p Pump surgery, and off-Pump surgery was more cost effective.

On-pump versus off-pump coronary revascularization: evaluation of renal function

TL;DR: It is suggested that off pump coronary revascularization offers a superior renal protection when compared with conventional coronary Revascularization with cardiopulmonary bypass and cardioplegic arrest in first time coronary bypass patients.

Avoiding cardiopulmonary bypass in multivessel CABG reduces cytokine response and myocardial injury.

TL;DR: Compared with conventional coronary artery bypass grafting, coronary revascularization without cardiopulmonary bypass is associated with reduced cytokine responses and less myocardial injury.

Coronary artery bypass grafting without cardiopulmonary bypass using the octopus method: results in the first one hundred patients.

TL;DR: Early clinical outcome and patency rates warrant a randomized study comparing this methods with conventional coronary bypass grafting, and results suggest that off-pump coronary artery bypass grafts with the Octopus tissue stabilizer is safe.

Exposure of circumflex branches in the tilted, beating porcine heart: Echocardiographic evidence of right ventricular deformation and the effect of right or left heart bypass

TL;DR: Ninety-degree anterior displacement of the beating porcine heart caused primarily right ventricular dysfunction as a result of mechanical interference with diastolic expansion without concurring valvular incompetence.

Total arterial revascularization with an internal thoracic artery and radial artery T graft

TL;DR: Complete arterial revascularization can be achieved with an ITA and radial artery T-graft with low operative risk and acceptable early patency, and these results support the continued investigation of this grafting strategy.
