Abstract: Objective To assess clinical results between proximal-first sequential anastomosis technique (POPCAB) and conventional technique off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting(COPCAB) in 72 patients over 65 years old.Methods Between Jan 2008 and Oct 2012,72 patients with multiple vessel coronary artery disease underwent off-pump coronary artery bypass grofting.They were divided into two groups,POPCAB and COPCAB groups.Preoperative and postoperative variables of two groups were compared.Results There were no significant difference in sex,age,history of acute myocardium infarction,hypertension,diabetes and number of bypass grafts between two groups.The ICU stay time in POPCAB group was less than in COPCAB group(P ＜0.05).There were lower creatine kinase MB and cardiac trop I after operation in POPCAB group compared with COPCAB group(P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The results confirm that promixal-first sequential anastomosis technique remains a valuable option of surgical myocardial revascularization,and may optimize the outcome in the aged.
