Abstract

Objectives: A purpose is to compare the in-hospital rehabilitation progress after minimally invasive cardiac surgery coronary artery bypass grafting (MICS CABG) with that after off pump coronary artery bypass grafting( OPCAB).

Methods: We analyzed 60 patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting surgery from January 2015 to December 2016. Fourteen patients underwent MICS CABG (MICS CABG group) and 46 patients underwent OPCAB (OPCAB group). The post-operative days to start standing position and independent walking, and hospitalization duration were analyzed between the 2 groups.

Results: There were no significant differences between the groups:standing position(1.2 vs 1.2 days) and independent walking(4.8 vs 4.9 days). Hospitalization duration was shorter in MICS CABG group(14.3 vs 17.5 days).

Conclusion: MICS CABG may shorten hospitalization length compared with OPCAB, however, further research will be needed.
