Effects of off pump versus on pump coronary surgery on reversible and irreversible myocardial injury: a randomised trial using cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging and biochemical markers
ISRCTN ISRCTN20472718
ClinicalTrials.gov identifier
Public title Effects of off pump versus on pump coronary surgery on reversible and irreversible myocardial injury: a randomised trial using cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging and biochemical markers
Scientific title
Acronym N/A
Serial number at source 066216
Study hypothesis Using Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance imaging (CMR), we compared the extent of peri-operative myocardial reversible injury (myocardial stunning) and irreversible injury (myocardial necrosis) in patients undergoing multi-vessel Coronary Artery Bypass Graft surgery (CABG) with and without cardiopulmonary bypass, in a single center randomised trial.

To our knowledge, this is the first such study using cine and contrast-enhanced CMR. Furthermore, we correlated these CMR findings with the changes in post operative cardiac Troponin I. Our primary hypothesis was that off pump surgery results in reduced myocardial stunning (as measured by cine MRI) in the early post-operative period when compared to ON-pump CABG (ONCABG) surgery. We further hypothesised that off pump surgery is superior to ONCABG with regards to the extent of permanent myocardial damage and that post-operative myocardial enzyme release reflects myonecrosis.
