Authors' objectives:
To compare the safety and efficacy of off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery with the aid of the Octopus Tissue Stabilizer(R) (OPCAB/OTS) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) on the basis of a systematic assessment of the peer-reviewed literature.
Authors' results and conclusions:
The updated literature added little to clarify the safety and efficacy issues of OPCAB/OTS. The small sample size, poor evidence quality and limited postoperative outcome reporting of many studies meant that no definitive conclusion could be made regarding the safety and efficacy of OPCAB/OTS in comparison to conventional CABG with CPB. Nonetheless, limited comparative data suggested that there was no difference in safety outcomes between OPCAB/OTS and CABG.
Authors' recommendations:
The ASERNIP-S review group concluded that the updated evidence base for OPCAB/OTS was still inadequate for establishing its safety and efficacy and recommended that an audit of the procedure be conducted.
