Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery is associated with systemic inflammation. Activation of neutrophils is a crucial step in inflammation and results in neutrophil sequestration within the tissues. One of the potential advantages of performing off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) surgery is the attenuation of the systemic inflammatory response. This prospective randomized study compares neutrophil activation in patients undergoing OPCAB versus those undergoing CABG with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
