Abstract
Right ventricular dysfunction occurs very soon after conventional coronary bypass surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass and might not recover within 1 year after the operation. It has been postulated that performing coronary surgery without cardiopulmonary bypass might preserve right ventricular function. We hypothesized that right ventricular global and overall systolic functions are better preserved 3 months after off-pump surgery than after conventional coronary bypass surgery.
