Abstract

Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of mortality globally, predominantly attributed to coronary artery disease (CAD). CAD is influenced by both non-modifiable factors, such as age and genetics, and modifiable risk factors, including smoking and hypercholesterolemia.
The progression of CAD involves the formation of atherosclerotic plaques, which can lead to significant stenosis and symptoms like angina. In patients with multivessel disease, surgical intervention is often necessary, with options including on-pump and off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
Off-pump CABG has gained attention for its potential benefits, such as reduced early complications and improved recovery. However, it presents technical challenges due to the heart's motion during surgery.
This thesis aims to evaluate clinical outcomes in patients undergoing off-pump CABG for multivessel coronary artery disease, assessing its efficacy compared to traditional methods and its implications for surgical practice.

AIM OF THE WORK:
The aim of the present study was to evaluate and assess the clinical outcomes in patients post Off pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery due to multi vessel coronary artery disease.
