Brief Summary

Background: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) can be performed either with or without the use of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) to obtain myocardial re-vascularisation. The investigators hypothesize that CABG without the use of CPB may reduce the risk of perioperative death, stroke, myocardial infarction and other serious complications. The aim of the present study is to compare the incidence of complications and the clinical efficacy of CABG with and without the use of CPB in elderly patients.
