Abstract:
Objective To compare the economic outcome between on-pump and off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Methods Six hundred seventy-nine patients were divided into on-pump and off-pump groups. Twelve variables with respect to costs were obtained for each group during hospital stay. Results There was no significant difference in total mean cost between two groups. For off-pump patient, the costs of medication, operation, blood transfusion, bed occupancy, and nursery were significantly less than those of on-pump CABG surgery was (P0.05). Conclusion Costs of OPCAB are not significantly lower than on-pump CABG due to higher material costs.
