Consequences of Obesity on Short-Term Outcomes in Patients Who Underwent Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Surgery

The correlation between off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) surgery and obesity-related outcomes is still uncertain. The aim of our study was to analyse the pre-, intra-, and postoperative short-term outcomes between obese and non-obese patients after off-pump bypass surgery. We performed a retrospective analysis from January 2017 until November 2022, including a total of 332 (non-obese (n = 193) and obese (n = 139)) patients who underwent an OPCAB procedure due to coronary artery disease (CAD). The primary outcome was all-cause in-hospital mortality. Our results showed no difference regarding mean age of the study population between both groups. The use of the T-graft technique was significantly higher (p = 0.045) in the non-obese group compared to the obese group. The dialysis rate was significantly lower in non-obese patients (p = 0.019). In contrast, the wound infection rate was significantly higher (p = 0.014) in the non-obese group compared to the obese group. The all-cause in-hospital mortality rate did not differ significantly (p = 0.651) between the two groups. Furthermore, ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and reoperation were relevant predictors for in-hospital mortality. Therefore, OPCAB surgery remains a safe procedure even in obese patients.
