Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States and most developed countries. The majority of deaths are due to coronary artery disease. It is estimated that 419,000 coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) procedures were performed in the United States in 2009 for the surgical treatment of coronary artery disease. Off-pump CABG (without the use of cardiopulmonary bypass) is an attractive less invasive operative approach with multiple patient benefits.
心血管疾病是美国和大多数发达国家的主要死因。大多数死亡是由冠状动脉疾病导致的。据估计,2009年美国进行了41.9万例冠状动脉旁路移植术(CABG)以手术治疗冠状动脉疾病。非体外循环冠状动脉旁路移植术(不使用体外循环)是一种有吸引力的侵入性较小的手术方法,对患者有多种益处。
