Introduction: Left main (LM) coronary disease is believed to represent a complex, advanced, and potentially life-threatening atherosclerotic syndrome that can be treated by either percutaneous or surgical interventions. Despite its satisfactory results, the declined number of off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) is observed.
Aim: To compare 10-year survival and point out possible mortality risk factors in patients referred for left main and multivessel OPCAB surgery followed by transit time bypass measurements.
Material and methods: There were 159 patients (128 (81%) men and 31 (19%) women) in a median age of 66 (60-70) years enrolled in retrospective analysis who were referred to surgical intervention due to left main (51, 32%) and multivessel (108, 68%) disease. The regression analysis for long-term mortality risk and the Kaplan-Meyer survival curve were analyzed.
Results: Multivariable analysis pointed female sex (HR = 1.08, 95% CI: 1.03-1.14, p = 0.001) and diabetes mellitus (HR = 6.33, 95% CI: 1.86-21.52, p = 0.003) as possible risk factors for 10-year mortality risk. There was no significant difference in Kaplan-Meyer 10-year mortality comparison between left main and multivessel disease patients treated by off-pump surgical revascularization (HR = 0.93, 95% CI: 0.40-2.13, p = 0.86).
Conclusions: Off-pump surgery in the left main disease, compared to multivessel disease, represents a safe surgical technique with satisfactory long-term results. The female sex and diabetes mellitus were found as possible risk factors for 10-year mortality risk in multivariable analysis.
